Two Thousand and Twelve,
A year of achievement,
A year of victory,
A year of loss,
My year of change.
The clock struck, Bells rang,
Another years began.
I sat alone with tears.
Terrified of what was coming,
What would change.
With a heavy heart,
And fake smile the months past.
The first strike was blown,
Pain unexplainable,
Yet relieved too.
But the darkness stayed,
Until surrounded by cooling water,
A choice was made.
My decision to change.
A promise was made.
Slowly, like fog lifting
The light came back.
The scars stopped,
And the box was put away.
The smile started to appear.
A year of great change,
A year I will say good bye to.
This has been my tunnel to the light.
I can now stand and smile.
There is a road out of the darkness.

Well this isn't really like my others. This has been the hardest ever year for me as I'm sure it has for others to. I can't wait for the bells to chime at 12pm on the 31st of December, that's when I can finally close the book on this year. I hope that if you are in a dark point in your life you get your chance to change because it was a life saver to me. For those who haven't had a dark point then keep hold of what keeps you happy and don't let go. Never lose sight of the big picture! Thank you for reading this. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
