Opening my eyes once again
Only to realize it's the last day of the 365 days of the year
I lay back down and closed my eyes in reflection
On how the past 364 days had been

In my mind's eyes, I saw my failures and successes
I saw the ones I lost and the ones I gained
I saw the ones I loved and who loved me
I saw the ones I learned not to care for cause of the hurt they brought

I reflected on how much tears I shed
I smiled at the memories of joy and laughter
I saw myself again when I had the urges to quit
I also saw the motivation that kept me going...
