Hey, you.
I know you.
Aren't you the one who always lose her phone?
The clumsy girl walking around with a humongous stack of papers
Always everywhere at any given time
Making such a ruckus on the front seats,
blabbing and laughing loudly with your friends
You are all bright smiles and dead eyes
I know you.
Of course, I know you.
You're the creepy girl who always give smiles to a stranger
Always saying hello first
The one who tries so **** hard to stay awake in class
But never fails to snooze out on the fourth slide.
The girl who always lends an ear, a shoulder and a heart
Not for once get them returned back to you.
Have you ever wondered why things break more easily in other's hand?
Hey, you.
I care about you
What's the matter with those bags?
You are practically a panda.
Have the 7-day-straight all-nighter finally taken its toll on you?
You look so weak, sweetheart
A 19-year-old girl should not be this weak
You should be outside drinking sunlight
Wrecking the world with your group of little troublemakers.
Your eyes are tired and so does your brain.
Those arteries and veins, fraction ejection and all the types of arrhythmia
The numbers and words and pages and books to read, chapters to review, questions to answer
They will not go away
But you can.
Hey, you.
I am scared
You are slipping farther and farther away, I can barely recognize you anymore
When I see your face and stare into your eyes
I find broken shards
You feel bad for letting the day pass without turning a page
Beat yourself up for the hours went by without the facts memorized
What are you doing this for?
You used to love learning
Now, it's hard to breathe among the questions
You used to be alive
Now, nothing resonates within
Hey, you.
Please.
Take a seat. Wash your hair. Splash in puddles. Drink some tea.
Go hibernate like a polar bear!
Chew the bamboos, but get rid of the eyebags
Swim in the bathtub for hours and no one will disturb you
I will turn up the music so loud you cannot even hear your own wavering heartbeats
No one will hurt you
I will fight tooth and nail for your peace
When the world betrays and demands
My hands will bundle up your heart with the softest blanket
When the world whispers words of hate
I will scream declarations in your name
I promise I am here for you
The world can wait for your love
Your body should not
Shower it with attention
Drown in with care
Hey, you.
The girl in the mirror
I love you
I really do
Or at least, I'm trying to
