“Another month has passed
before I could grasp it
by the hands and beg it to
show me what I’ve learned,
what mistakes I’ve repeated,
and who I have loved and lost.
Another month passing as
quickly as the last minute of
your 15-minute smoke break.
Another month of reflections,
cutting ties, and creating new
memories that will only blow
away in the wind. So here is to
a new month. A new slate
of days that I can use to try
to love myself more than I
could in the past 30 days.
A new month, a fresh start,
a new beginning, a clock
that will never seem to run out
of hours until you look around
and realize that it has already
taken that time from you before
you could use it in your advantage.”
