A poem written for another new year's day, by another Kym, in another lifetime
The new year has broken
the old one shattered
glittering on the new snow
beckoning to passers-by
Pieces stick to my soul
splinters embedded
so deeply they have become
my newest appendage
The new crept up, surprising me
that it could not
obliterate the old
or at least mask it
Another mistaken identity
lost to perverted longing
shadowed by the need
of a heavily burdened heart
A long list of wishes
and corrupted hopes
erased by yet another
dose of reality
Acceptance is just another word
describing an elusive thought
born on the wind
of skeptics and screeds
Who measure time
by schedules and tables
written down in tidy
leather-bound manuals
Masking their concerns
with shouts of temperance
and who are inevitably disappointed
by my inability to conform
Hand thrown into the air
when an anniversary passes
and yet, once again,
I have failed the test
I hang my head, once again,
studying the tops of shoes
I never wished to wear
let alone walk in
