Last year I hoped I could go have fun with my friends,
This year I hope no one in my family will die.
Last year I was angry I missed my graduation,
This year I hope I can go outside once again.
Last year I wished for school to end soon,
This year I wish to step inside my new school.
Last year I hoped this would be over soon,
This year I hope ignorance, not hinder our freedom.
My hopes were shattered,
My anger became obsolete,
My wishes went unanswered,
This year, things may soon change,
A new day is upon us,
Our new hopes, new wishes, new ideas,
A new day is upon us,
May we soon are able to seize it.
