In 2013
Wide-eyed and ecstatic, I left
Full of hopes and full of dreams
And towards my new future I leapt
In 2014
Lonely and confused, I cried
Depression visited and refused to leave
And trust me when I say I tried
In 2015
Hesitant and surprised, I fell in love
It was great, then it was gone
And as before, I was forced to rise above
In 2016
Cynical and discouraged, I escaped
In many ways I abandoned myself
And my heart...it constantly ached
In 2017
Renewed and lifted up, I graduated
Reality hit like a wave
And I had to evaluate where I was situated
In 2018
Worried and unprepared, I fell sick
Many a time tears brimmed as I asked why
And this, above all, made my skin grow thick
In 2019
Numb and confused, I wandered
Doubts, fears and insecurities haunted me
And in my walk I often fell and often faltered
In 2020
Humbled and excited, I'll wait
As God shows me his ways
And continues to say that all that's to come will be great
