In January I built my own kingdom of days.
\nIn February I learned it sometimes is a long walk to freedom.
\nIn March I was in a New York state of mind.
\nIn April prayers were answered and dreams fulfilled.
\nIn May I watched the sun set on St. Pete Beach.
\nIn June I was reminded of what drives me.
\nIn July I took a pass on yelling uncle.
\nIn August it was about passionate comebacks.
\nIn September it was all hide and see.
\nIn October there were needs and silence.
\nIn November I remembered the things I miss.
\nIn December I was given 14 pages full of love.<\/p>\n
