I am not a New Year resolution advocate

But there is something

About January

Could be symbolic

A number change from 2022 to 2023

Which evokes the paradoxical me

Where I see the beauty in incongruence

Reminiscent of a year gone and hopeful for a new tomorrow

With these thoughts in my cauldron

I have a tete- a tete with Simms 2022

Together we traverse and witness,

The Hades me where I cringe to see the pettiest version of me

The struggling me trying to decipher parenting to keep up with my teenage daughter

The coward me who didn’t take a bullet for a friend

The distrustful me getting past prejudice in way of new relationships

The tragic me grieving the loss of a precious one

The conscientious me who gave her sweat blood and tears to work

The phoenix me edging me on to evolution

The beauty of this journey into my pensive was,

There were no facades

I lay bare my soul with a promise to be a better Simms 2023
