A Year's Time Poem by Paige Nielsen

A Year's Time



It’s been a long year
Apathy and boredom streaming from every pore
Broken resolutions cry in January
Hearts shatter in February
March condemns us to monotony
We’re drowning in April
Crushed blooms and bent stems in May
We’re withering in June
And burning in July
Albatross hangs over my head in August
Stress is the name of the game in September
October is the month of death
Wilting and bare in November
Blood stains the snow in December
Souls perish before the new year
And then the horror begins again
Eternally waiting for a change

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Damn Paige, I always love reading your poetry. I haven't seen a poem of yours I didn't like. This has great imagery, it's relatable on every level, and it's blunt truthfulness only adds to the strength of it. Like always, I'm in awe and applauding you.
