Watching 2020 through a reflection

˚~ 2020 ~˚

We thought about the best as the fireworks lit up the sky

The wondrous thought of starting a new year filled us with joy

The satisfactory smell of the new pencil and pens we bought for school

And the new year with surprises yet to come to make us smile in awe

We continued on with our holidays

Waiting for the new school year to come along

To make new friends, to learn

And to put up with the challenges high school had for us

But the ragging summer was turning into a killing zone for the natural things we loved

and kobe bryant and his loving daughter was lost

Australia's icon was almost gone, now endangered

Firefighters came to our rescue but many of them died

But the fight wasn't over yet

Many communities came together to show that there was still faith in humanity

They baked cakes to raise money for the firefighters

And with the love and compassion of those communities and the hardworking firefighters

We had won the battle

School started and we were anxious yet excited for what was going to happen

we made new friends

We learnt new things

And we overcame most of the challenges high school had

And soon, more great things were going to happen

Well, that's what we believed

Breaking news: By the foolish ways of an officer,

We lost a man whose death has now changed life as we know it

We commemorated Gorge Floyd who was our very own superhero

And protested but we didn't know the consequences that, that had

In the blink of an eye,

we heard the worlds corona and COVID-19

Ringing through every single channel on the tv

We were locked, Isolated and depressed

We believed that there was no bright side to this situation

We had to stay at home to keep everyone safe

It was our duty

3000

5000 deaths we went through

But we ended up with 913 988

We wept we cried

For the lives that were lost

The more saddened we were

The more hope that was lost

Was this a punishment?

Or maybe it's the world, who screams so loud

Awaking us from the ignorant slumber that has made us lazy

A declaration of change?

We thought as days passed by

Soon something was going to make us alive

This time we were finally right

This wasn't a punishment

But an open door to band together,

instead of pushing each other further apart

Zoom played a big part

It helped us connect again

We then ended term 2 in our pyjamas,

lying in our beds with the messiest hair we could ever imagine

Doing our school work while procrastinating with our friends

And of course, being tired

We had the opportunity to relax

Taking a 5 hour trip to the snow was our chance to finally release the weights that had been heavying our shoulders

And so we carried on with our holidays

Which ended surprisingly fast

But it was definitely was a blast

Term three came in with a large package of covid cases

Poor victoria had to close down

But there was still hope to end it all

We had many assessments which brought back the weights

But we still fought and got through them all

Here we end

Not knowing what's to come,

Waiting for this year to end

And wishing for prosperity and happiness for the next coming years

2020 has been a heck of a rollercoaster

But we still ride waiting for the nest year to come
