hello you.
how have you been?
it's been a good year, even if you think it hasn't
well, it has.
you are the best version of me yet, i'm proud
to say.
i'm proud.

you're doing good. keep doing that.
what am i doing? you're doing fine
keep doing that. but learn more of it
it's about the process and the details
it'll take time, but hey you're here
keep doing that.

hello you.
it's time to say goodbye
"to the things we loved and the innocence of youth"
it's okay, i'm proud of you
so, hello you again.
goodbye.

one cool blade, against pale
skin pressing lightly just
a bit then a bit
harder

no red so again just a bit
harder, against the smooth
surface until it
breaks

pain does not shoot through
your veins it is merely
routine, one way of
relief
Pei Yi Dec 2016
turn back time
she whispered as her head drooped down
hung in defeat, hung in despair
she didn't know what to do

turn back time
she thought as she set fire to the notebook
a flicker of flame, a flicker of hope
wavering with the breeze

turn back time
she couldn't say the words out loud though
the paper crinkled, the paper shrivelled
dreams gone up in smoke

sacrifices made in vain

— The End —
