Tender words from broken places

Here it comes again,

another trip around the sun.

What a privilege!

I remind myself of this,

yet this only sharpens the guilt

that I am wasting this precious gift

when I cant escape my own mind.

It’s a time of reflection,

at what I have achieved since last year,

what I have become.

But this past year feels heavy,

heavier than I can carry
