Hello,
Happy New Year <3 It's 2022
& Welcome to 365 Days of Poetry & Honesty! There's a lot I want to say but at the moment I’m tired, sad and overwhelmed lol, so not today. I do want to let you know that I’m going to continue with the newsletter. It's the thing I’m most proud of and a wonderful archive of my poems! Hopefully this year, it’ll be complete, from January to December 2022, but either way, I promise to do my best. Thanks for being readers by the way. It means a lot to know you're here. Thank you.

definitely a draft, it's a longer poem than I thought it would be but I like it, i like the imagery.
Sunday
It's my birthday next week, Sunday 9th. Not sure how I feel, and if I’m being honest there were moments last year where I was convinced that I wouldn't even make it to 2022 and here I am on the second day of January. Anyway, here's my annual birthday day poem, well there's two, one I wrote a month ago and one I wrote this week. The first is very dark and a little hopeless, and I wrote the second because I didn't like how bleak it felt and also, my outlook has changed. Now I’m curious as to what this year will bring, and I’ll be okay regardless. I hope.
TRIGGER WARNING: SUICIDAL IDEATION

P.S. Here's the first song I listened to in 2022! It's beautiful & an absolute classic lol
