Dear 2020…

You may be tough, but I am tougher.

You can quarantine my body, but not my mind.

You may have brought a formidable virus

Whose cure is hard to find.

Rejoice but not for long,

Time passes by and so shall you.

You may have seized several lives

But several others are fighting too.

You may have proved to be hard on us all,

Yet I cease to thank you for a sole reason-

You transformed the coal in me

Into rock solid diamond, under your harsh season.
