To The Year That Had Passed

Sharing the poem I wrote for my Lit 14 class two semesters ago... I miss writing :( 

To The Year That Had Passed
by Jessica Meriño

To the year that had passed

You were not easy

You were storms and lightnings

Mistakes and over bearings

But see

I have done it at last

Your tests

I have passed

To the year that had passed

I bid you my sweetest goodbye

Farewell to a meaningful year

But never

To the memories you’ve brought

the moments I’ve kept

Not even the sorrows

To the year that had passed

Thank you for

the goals I’ve accomplished

Wounds you’ve caused

lessons you’ve taught

I’ll save them all for my tomorrows

To the year that had passed

Say hello

To the new self you’ve honed

Stronger

Braver

Definitely better

To the year that had passed

Purposely

You forced me

to do things on my own

And for that

I thank you

because I have grown.
