2016 Winner

New Year

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.
