It was a rainy day,
When i fell down on the floor
Blood dripping from my leg and toe
Glasses bits on the floor
Stepped onto it slowly with my legs
It when inside within skin
My nails broke like it was about to fall apart .
My eyes was full of tears but i did not cried.
My hands were so tired but i did not show .
I stood up slowly, i put my skirt properly
I adjust my blouse like nothing ever happened.
A phone call , came
My ringtone rang ,
My aunt : Alicia your mom passed away
I fell again onto the floor
And my phone shatter into pieces
I twisted my wrist
My heels broke into two
The tears that i was holding on
It spilled through my eyes like waterfall
I tried so hard not to make noises
While i cry quietly
But still i couldn't
The words kept running in my thoughts
After all why am i alive ?
After today what is the purpose of me being alive?
I stood up again with all my energy
I saw a bird dying on the road while all the cars going on it
It was bloody , suffering , chipping in pain . Wings broken eyes in hurt
I thought, its just like me myself
I went to the road and saved the bird
But it died i was late .
At first i didn't understand
Even though i saved it , it still died
How , why ,
But now i do understand
Sometimes u can save someone but u can never stop them from dying if their soul gave up .
It was simple.
I walked barefoot on the pathway
I looked at a tree
It was dried up
No leaves
Just like me i thought
My coat drenched in the rain
My hair soaked in rain water
Thunder strikes!
But for the first time i didn't even flinch
I remember suddenly how i used to run to my mom
For a slightest thunder
I laughed to myself while tears reaching my cheeks
How grown up we all have become
After we faced reality and hardships
I went to a near by coffee shop
No one was there
Literally no customer
I told the guy , one cup of coffee pls
No sugar
He asked me again just to made sure
Ma'am no sugar ? Sure ?
I said yea with a painful smile on me
He said ok
The coffee came and it was tasty
I could not believe it
For the first time in my life
I am drinking coffee without my sugar.
My sugar needs a break i guess .
