An Ode to 2018

Pic : Self

…and so
I take leave,

leaving you
with memories,

of things
you percieved,

as good
or as bad,

as happy
or sad,

my intention
was to better you,

in all the ways
that you are,

the highs
and the lows,

are just waves
in the seas,

but you
my friend,

are the ocean
deep,

the sun
the moon,

only play
deceptions,

on the
surface,

of your
sensitive skin,

my job
however,

was to delve
into you beyond,

the joys
and the pain,

that you’ll
remember me with,

are my
redemption,

and my
bondage,

to you
till you remain,

neither
was intentional,

for neither
were my goals,

my sole purpose
was always,

to lift
you,

higher
than you are,

my success
or failiure,

remains
dependent on you,

and I hope
someday,

you’ll remember me
with fondness,

from the pinnacle
of who you become.
