This year has tried its best to test my courage and make me fall into the darkness of defeat.
Days were hard to survive and nights seemed to enjoy my company by keeping me awake with my dreams and wishes that never came true.
My wings got burned like Icarus's when he tried to fly close to the Sun, like him I too fell into the sea of incriminations and impediments that drowned me away into melancholic madness.
This was the year of clandestine conspiracies and persistently naive notions.
It was the time of ordeal of how much weight of regret my lungs can carry and how I still walk with the head held high and a smile that has rays of hope.
But this was also the year when my fortitude kept the originality and sparkle alive and grit acted as an armour and sword to defeat the Dragon.
This was also the year when love saved the day and kindness took care of the wounds of heart.
