New Year, Bad Me

New Year's day.

5 years ago I lost my best friend...

and now I'm waiting for my turn.

Maybe things weren't supposed to go right.

maybe that's what makes us human.

Now, I just wait and wait for my turn.

Sometimes I will force it upon myself,

but other times I just beg for that day.

I love the things life has given me,

but I don't deserve it.

Life isn't about me, 

so I don't even worry about myself.

Whether it's a few more than the day after of showering,

or not taking off my makeup,

and wearing the same outfit for nearly a week.

Because, honestly, at this point,

I've never not cared about myself as much as I don't now.

So, Happy New Year...

and hopefully I'll make it to the next.
