Class Of 2020...

In ad-mist of this unprecedented pandemic

When the world is crumbling, and everything is falling apart

Where over-estimated seems the word systematic

And unrealistically increase the numbers on the chart

All your plans are shattered

And 'unthinkable' is now the new 'normal'

Your future itself seems beaten and battered

All the assurances once were given, now seem fallacious and informal

You are sitting at your home in uncertainty and despair

Trying to be stoic while incredulous optimism you try to embrace

At times like these, I think it's ok to be terrified, to be scared

To think out of the box, to run your own race…

The battle you are fighting is indeed like none before

But remember tough times don't last, tough people, do

Always keep in mind the goal you are striving for

Set an example, and find a break-through…

If your present seems in ruins, accept it with a smile

Let the world burn and from those ashes, you can rise

Hard-work indeed is the key to success; it never goes out of style

Believe that you are born to reach the skies…

Grab the marvelous opportunities that are born from this disaster

With everything back to square one, be the change you want to see

Be beginner who kept beginning and become the true master

It's said that knowledge is power, so who cares about a shinny pretentious degree?

Dear batch of 2020, this is no one giving you a piece of advice

Don't forget that darker the night, the stars like you shine brighter

Chances are always second last and success has no tag of price

Nothing lasts forever, this too shall pass, just hang in there tighter…
