Over the Top!

One final rough and jagged sonnet from a rough and jagged year... 


Over the Top!

On the eve of the new year,
reflecting on the dying one.
While I had planned to do so much,
I didn’t get a damned thing done.
Some have called it a dumpster fire,
with all the chaos that we’ve been through,
but my past year was Trench Warfare,
inches I gained were miles too few.
But this year, I have mapped a plan,
I have lay my goals out before me,
charting out an adaptable path
that, I believe, will lead to victory.
This progress-less chaos to a stop
when I cry, one last time, “Over the top!”
