I reflect on 2020 with mixed emotions. A roller coaster year that I sometimes struggle to put into words. Here’s my thoughts on MY 2020

The horrors of the year have past
Feel grateful I survived
The mountain still to climb is vast
With the thought of that I cried.
Emotions high, emotions low,
I keep it all inside
The smiles produced to show the world,
The whole story, you’ll never know.
Goals drive me on, tick off the wins,
Quietly one by one.
But deep inside my heart still aches
For everything that’s gone.
Looking at the year ahead
As certain as I can,
Doubts cloud my mind, I’m sure I can,
Or can I? Time will tell.
