I’m skating into the new year.
I drove out of the last year.
I am leaving behind fights, arguments
and all negative stuff on the side of the road,
right before I cross over to the new year.
I had a 365-day-long war with the old year
and now I will have a 365-day-long friendship
with the new year.
I fought hard;
I fell and got back up;
I burned, crashed, stomped, punched
the old year
to get here.
Now this year will be a cloud.
This year is a game called I Win, I Won’t Lose.
I peeked into the old year for a quick second
and saw history
then I looked at the new year and saw
a great future.
