31st December 2011 Poem by Austyne Thomas

Lord Jesus.
†ђ ξ year has come τ ̅ ̲ ȍ an end
Frankly Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ am an alcoholic.
&i don't remember most things I̅ ̲ ̶ ̥ ̊ n̅ ̲ ̶ ̥ ̊ †ђ ξ past months
But Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ can remember what Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ didn't get or achieve.
All †ђ ξ joy & happiness I̅ ̲ ̶ ̥ ̊ n̅ ̲ ̶ ̥ ̊ †ђ ξ past year
Have faded and passed as dust I̅ ̲ ̶ ̥ ̊ n̅ ̲ ̶ ̥ ̊ †ђ ξ wind.
But my sorroes, grief & failures
They are †ђ ξ sorts Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ remember, †ђ ξ evil kinds
Although Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ feel hopeless & mostly hollow
& sometimes Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ don't wanna see tomorrow
Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ feel guilt from †ђ ξ wrongs Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ d done
& Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ never get τ ̅ ̲ ȍ apologise τ ̅ ̲ ȍ †ђ ξ ones Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ hurt
&i resist mostly everything but temptations
& Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ feel A̸ ̨ ̸ ̸ rush on evil contemplation
I̅ ̲ ̶ ̥ ̊ n̅ ̲ ̶ ̥ ̊ sin Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ indulge & languish & feast
& good Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ have removed from my midst
All this Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ have done & prospered I̅ ̲ ̶ ̥ ̊ n̅ ̲ ̶ ̥ ̊
Yet Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ wake up everyday & am still alive
Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ have never seen any kinda ♡ this way
That Ʋ Still keep me up & keep me safe
Although Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ don't remember anything again
But Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ know better people have passed on before
Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ know Ʋ still keep loving me
And mostly Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ keep messing up
But Theres something Ȋ ̊ ̝ ̅ know right now
That am grateful for seeing †ђ ξ end of †ђ ξ year.
