Poem: The Year

2012 is the year things would change
2012 is the year things did change
The year I realised I couldn’t hold these feelings in
The year I decided I needed to fight the demons I held in

2012 I told my story once
2012 I told my story twice
The year I knew I was ready to learn to be me
The year I decided I wanted to let people see

2013 I fought a battle
2013 we fought a battle
The year you taught me I wasn’t alone
The year I abandoned the place I once called home

2014 the year it came out
2014 the year I had no doubt
The year I was doing the right thing
The year I was fighting a battle I was going to win
