I come back home, feeling heavier than ever before, tears in my eyes. Still, I didn’t cry on my way. When I saw that mirror girl, looking insane and lost, but still asking me, why do you have those teardrops? I blinked my eyes—a teardrop fell, but I wiped it off. Looking straight into the eyes of the mirror girl, I said— I am strong. And I am going to handle everything like the back of my hand. I don’t need support; I can stand on my feet. Bring all the pretenders. I am not afraid anymore. I know my path is hard. I know I am fallen apart right now, but they don’t know rusted knives are more damaging than the good ones. I have seen scorpions in the dress of friends, so I know all your plans—you can’t bring me down. If I love deep, that doesn’t mean you are allowed to make me bleed. Now your time is gone, and my hand came so long— it has taken time, but I am on my way. I am strong. I am fearless. Nothing can stop me. I am standing on my feet. Bring all the pretenders. I am not afraid anymore. Thank God I am an Aquarius, someone who lets go so fast. So many emotions I felt at 18 that now I don’t know what hurt me hard. You love, you lose. You love, you win. Aquarius only knows how to love deeply but still gets nothing. So I am strong even when my back bleeds. I can stand on my feet even when my legs are shaking. Bring all the pretenders. Even when I am scared, I am not afraid.

I am not afraid
You don’t know me, and you will not try, ’Cause I matter less to you. I am just another girl, and I accepted that. It’s hard to smile with tears in my eyes, but when I see your smile, I feel satisfied. So what if I am not with you? So what if your smile is different for her? I know you’ll never be mine, but you’ll always be my favourite incomplete wish. I won’t lie when I say I have cried for you, begged the Lord to make me yours, to rewrite my fate, to somehow end me with you. But it’s all just a waste, ’cause you are happy without me, and it kills me. So what if your name rhymes with hers? So what if your eyes shine for her like mine do when I look at you? I know you’ll never be mine, but you’ll always be my favourite incomplete wish. I know I won’t matter to you. Even if I die, you won’t cry, ’cause you were never mine.
