Analysis of January
Martin Kinyua 1999 (Nyeri)
A paradox.
That what can describe this January.
A month of healing.
A month of tribulations.
Triumph. Triumph over my greatest fears.
Failure. Nothing I started worked out.
But I love it.
Atleast I tried it .
Love.
I experienced some of the greatest support.
Hate.
I hated whom I was .
I loved who I am trying to be.
Friendships.
I met some amazing people.
I discovered amazing in some of my closest people.
I lost some of my acquaintances
I had to.
I had to for my plans to work.
Planning.
This year I made some goals.
I made some aspirations.
I also started some activities that were not in the initial roadmap.
Poetry was reborn.
Reborn to include consistency.
An apple a day for my mind.
How can I tell them I like writing in the dark .
I hate writing under the light.
It is darkness that gives my writing the sparkle
The light at the end of the tunnel.
