Page one of three hundred and sixty five

A blank slate for creating

Another year journeying life

Shredding the box that I was held in

Drawing proudly outside the lines

Shedding that skin and sins, unyielding

Displaying the scars that come with time

Claiming the freedom from its healing

Remembering that what has passed

No longer holds the power

Reforming and setting new casts

Taking advantage of these hours

Learning from mistakes I made

Deciding now, what’s worth repeating

Wiping clean another slate

Absolving the ones brimming with meaning

So, here’s to more living and learning

Here’s to wiping off the dirt

Here’s to gathering the hurting

Here’s to putting in the work

Here’s to believing that I’m worthy

Here’s to picking up that towel

Here’s to loving this one journey

And living my life out loud
