To 23

A Poem

By Angel AdagioPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

The candles are lit and I am left to think of a wish.

A better year? A wish I have asked for every rotation around the sun

No, this year feels different.

I close my eyes and the wish begins:

May this year be filled with peace

breathing stillness, exhale all anxieties

free from the traumas of the past

finding strength I didn't know I had

continue showing kindness despite it all

opening my heart, tearing down those obsidian walls

let this be the beginning of healing.

And for the love of all that is good,

don't be like 22.
