ā22ā
A year gone,
Another trip around the sun
January 14th has come and gone too soon again,
A big party,
Soups and charcuterie
Cookies and strawberry shortcake
Friends,
Family,
Babies,
Parents,
All there to celebrate
My new age
22
What has the last year been?
Who was I this night in 2025?
Who was she?
21 me?
And who am I?
22 now?
I think, if we got the two of us together
21 and 22
Somehow in that Chiliās where I spent the last one
There would be a lot of discussion over French fries and tequila,
And unbelievable disbelief
How this last year has treated me,
And where I stand now,
What Iāve learned,
All the ways Iāve hurt,
And every way Iāve stood through it all,
Cried through it all,
Yelled through it all,
Screamed through it all
So much change in so little time
22 this is all brand new
But I canāt wait to see
What this trip around the sun teaches me.
