Appraising the Past

The year 2008.

A year of brand new experiences and responsibilities.
Of disappointments and new discoveries.
Of pleasantness and shock

Of friendships started anew
A year of enemies remade
Of treachery and knives
stabbed in backs

Of seeing things through new eyes
of taking away stereotypes
and putting on new ones.

Of strife and heartache
of new opportunities and luck
Of realisation and welcoming
A year full of challenges.

We got through them anyway.
