This was the year that was...

Yet another years closing,
But what a year it's been,
Parts truly amazing,
Most....like a dream.

Can't quite believe what's happened,
This past year that's to end,
Found myself long forgotten,
But....regrettably lost a friend.

This was the year that was...
That should never end!,
This was the year that was...
Unlike past into others blend.

I've tried o so very hard,
To do what was right for all!,
Considering everyone else,
Leading to my own downfall.

Paths had been laid out before me,
Indecision my biggest vice,
Choices..so many choices!,
One true one but made to think twice.

This was the year that was...
That should never end!,
This was the year that was...
Unlike past into others blend.

Misunderstood defines me now,
But I don't care what others think!,
I've painted most a picture,
And they will think what they will think!.

For only I know,
Conscience clear and soul cleansed,
That what happened this past year,
Was not a means to an ends.

Cause not a day goes by,
I don't recall in some shape or form,
'Better to have love and lost',
Than to have carried on the norm.

Indeed this was the year that was...
And should have never ended!,
This was the year that was...
And like our past into others blended.
