In some past years, I’ve challenged you to write a poem of farewell for our thirtieth day, but this year, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem about something that returns.
NaPoWriMo and GloPoWriMo will ride again!
Renewal
overwhelmed by the people and world around
flabbergasted by so many things, you are drowned
for a while, you lost, a sense of yourself
your undeniably great, but thyself
for so long you have the best interest of others
for so long you have loved and made wonders
you dismiss from your mind the love for oneself
is far more important, so be stealth
it didn’t take long though, to become fully aware
and bounce back, back to your old self, never be scare
some things don’t last no matter how
some people just come and go somehow
it took you just one moment
one moment of truth…
one moment of courage …
one moment of tenacity…
and one moment of strength…
to welcome
new challenges and a new view
and the new and renewed you
And because it’s my first year to join the annual NaPoWriMo, I say my thank you and goodbye the old poetic fashion way…
Goodbye
I didn’t think
I’d make it this far
but you never know
unless you try
try, I did regardless of
and no matter what
the struggle is over
the battle is done
I rest my case
my heartaches
my mind cries
my body sobs
to say I will miss
is an understatement
a part of me dies
and I just can’t let go
a bittersweet ending
of a once beautiful thing
goodbye to the one
that keeps me company
farewell, until then
who knows if there will be
for now, I take my hats off
I bid you adieu
I will miss you
