2020 is a growing pain
as close to the climax of hope
life comes tumbling down.
Well, the year didn’t come
with a pain-free guarantee
Nor did it hear you say
“this year I’m focusing on me”
because years have no conscience,
nor do seconds, minutes or hours
It’s your job to handle the pressure
not the 366 time devours
In light of bad news,
rescind your “2020 be good to me”
simply because
it had no obligation to be
Yet luckily your conscience remains
so be good to yourself
At least, growing pain means growth
…eventually.
Sometimes there are only lessons
no loss or gain.
2020, what a teacher~
she’s no movie, just good pain
