Dear, past me


Dear, past me

i have a ticket in my hand.

time stops, then im turned back.

im standing on the edge of a bridge

crying, debating if i should take my own life.

 

a girl with dull eyes- 

ready for death to overcome her;

ready to give up her future for peace 

the sitting sun was all i yearned for

 

but the sun rose again.

it wasnt my time nor place; 

winter was not above us-

I needed to fight and conquer

to what was nothing but a thought in the imagination.
