The Dawn of 2016

It's situated between two paths

and thy eyes are fixated

on the unveiled horizon.

There's no turning around

for the unproven ground 

is what I seek, 

There is solace in this

train of thought,

There is no box 

that can contain me

and if there was 

I'd want it to negate 

the past.

The past 

where great deeds 

blended into bad and 

bad deeds blended into 

miscalculation of one's true intentions.

I do not aspire to control

allowing the realization

that the past is uncontrollable.

The only decisions to be made 

are about where future steps lie. 

And ideally 

without the input of distractive voices in my head.

Happiness has been obtained 

by understanding the goals 

that lie ahead 

and forging a path to meet each

with head held high 

fortitude intact.

To all who've helped me come to 

such a place

I thank you.

Friend or foe

owed or owe

rich or poor

debts will be collected

and true relationships will no longer 

be left neglected.
