for the coming year, if not my hereafter,
is to learn to live better in my own skin,
and learn how not to live under anyone else's.
I used to be a good trier at relationships,
and I was modest with my ambitions
for whoever I was with, particularly family
where how I did not fit had to hidden.
Now with less to not fit in with,
and friends more in name than person
I still have something to work on
the choice of skin I should live in,
the better to be grateful, whilst distant
from the pasts I have left behind me.
