This Year's Growth

Poem by: Honeybee Lilico
I have changed so much
in this last year.
It is scarce to be believed.
I fell in love
and lost it
Breaking my heart completely.
I broke another's heart
probably ruining his life.
I watched my friendships
go sour
and die.
And though I gained some new friends,
My old ones will never
be replaced
And I miss them everyday.
I nurtured my sick mother
for months on end
sacrificed my own life
and oppourtunities
to help her live hers.
I lost my own health
which now
may never return.
I learned many things,
To depend on others
but to never
take them for granted.
To be kind
Even in lieu
of kindness in return.
To keep my temper
Even when sorely provoked.
And to tell
All of those I love
How much I love them,
and to do my best
To never be a burden.
Everyday
I tried to learn to stand on my own.
And now?
Am I better or worse?
I hope to be better
As there was not much
On which I could build.
