Good Riddance Old Year Poem by William Ndoyisile Somenze

You`ve rised before my blinded eyes, blinded eyes with tears i`ve cried, tears that have been trickling down my face for long, i thought you`d be better, you`d be the napkin to wipe away tears i`ve shed with past years, thought you`d make me glitter, but in vain, you`ve made everything i did worse, made me feel so wrong, like i am living from the back of a hearse, you were a ruinious year,

why did you abhor me this much? I`ve fronted words before you solicitating elation for the distinct days that you carry & are yet to deliver, that they may be the birth of my jubilant mirth here on earth, but you hav bequethen me an abundance of afflictions,

goodriddance to you, for with you my wishes & prayers were but alot of nothings, my dreams toppled down like the collapsing football scrum, go on & never come my way again, for i want your haplessness no more, for you`ve brought me misery to bring a smile to your face,

you who hated me to enjoy seeing me breakdown & cry, drift & i will like you never came, leave & let me live, take along all the fears you`ve ploughed in me, for this time i am going through changes intrepidly, a new day has come to cover you with a sheath of goldeness & erase all the pain & disappointment you`ve left in me.
