'break you'

a year that tried to break you

but a year that might have made you

a year that tried to break you

in health, in wellbeing, in life

but a year that actually made you

with strength, with heart and light

a year that tried to break you

by isolating and limiting

but a year that might have made you

with family and friends shimmering

the year might have tried to break you

but, darling, look how it has made you

not perfect or fixed, not okay or alright

but strong and compassionate, with happier times in sight
