Lupita Nyong'o Writes a Poem on Instagram Thanking Her Fans for ‘One of a Kind’ Year

Lupita Nyong'o is thanking her fans in a poem.

The "12 Years a Slave" star and Oscar-winning actress took to Instagram to post a picture of a patchwork quilt, the words "Happy Holidays" and show her appreciation to her fans.

In 2014, the 31-year-old actress won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in "12 Years of Slave." She was also named People's Most Beautiful and Glamour's Woman of the Year.

"This year was one of a kind. And a kind one to me," she began. "There was lots to be done, And a whole lot to see. I had family and friends, And colleagues galore, Now I have fans, Plus a million and four! You tweet and you post, And you Instagram too. You chat, comment, draw, You just do what you do."

She continued, "I keep posting 'Cause I know that you care, And I care to post When I know that you're there. So this season, Though I know your name not, I'm happy I got you, And that I gave what you got. I wish for you peace, Love, joy, laughter beams."

"And in the new year, May you live out your dreams! (And as Dr. Seuss says:) "If things start happening, don't worry, don't stew, just go right along and you'll start happening too."

You tweet and you post, And you instagram too. You chat, comment, draw, You just do what you do. And though I don't answer 'Cause time is a-tickin', Know that you matter By the posts that I'm pickin'. I keep posting 'Cause I know that you care, And I care to post When I know that you're there. So this season, Though I know your name not, I'm happy I got you, And that I gave what you got. I wish for you peace, Love, joy, laughter beams, And in the new year, May you live out your dreams!
