October

A poem

It’s the end of October and Halloween isn’t the scariest event in my life right now. It’s the fact that in ten months, nothing has been achieved.

To reach the end would mean that something was started. But yet, it has been a disaster and nothing started proper.

Oh, what a way to reach October, to be sober and ready for a makeover. Hopefully, I’ll recover my late year resolution and bolster what little time left.
