To be

I thank you,

for granting my request.

It gives me a peace of mind,

to know that there is an end to this particular ride.

It has not been an easy year.

I tried, I cried,

and before I realised it,

I survived.

It never once crosses my mind,

to hope for an easier year ahead.

That is not why I am here for.

For that I am grateful,

the opportunity,understanding and support.

Whatever lies ahead,

I promise to do my utmost best.

I will prove my vision.

I will meet,

and try to exceed your expectations.

A ladder rat,

I do not want to be.

But a contributing individual,

is what in myself I want to see.
