This year I’ve improved more than most.
29/12/2020
The path of the righteous
Isn’t always easy
Everyday throws out
Challenges and ordeals
But we remain firm
Never admit defeat
Never give up
Never give in
To vice, to hate, to mediocrity
Watch me soar like an eagle
Over the rooftops and gardens
Of my city
The bush capital
My lover and destroyer
All at once
Take two of these poems
And call me in the morning
We’ll see who’s fairest, best and most improved
As we embrace the New Year on the horizon
The usual resolutions
Hit the gym more
Cook more
And finally get a girlfriend
Watch me glide back
To life at ground level
I’ve seen the lay of the land
I know where my demons hide
I know myself and know my pride
That keeps me clinging on
To the endless possibilities
Of life in the modern world

Life for anyone is far from perfect, mine perhaps further than most but we’re working on it and working hard.
While I’m still not far from the bottom of the food chain in terms of success, money and prestige I like to think I’ve improved more than most over the course of the year.
Best wishes for a healthy, happy, successful, and prosperous New Year, Christo! You are on the right track to get wherever you want to be! ❤

I don’t know much about your writing but on the first read, I think it is interesting, self-aware, and passionate, all the ingredients of the successful poet/writer.
I would like to see how you are developing, and so I will follow.
