Don't ask me what I want.

Because what I want is different from what I need.

Don't tell me to hold on,

Because I'm barely hanging off a cliff.

Don't tell me to grip tighter,

Because the rope is slipping from my fingers.

But most importantly,

Don't tell me unicorns exist

Because just a day ago,

I was waiting for my superman

to come and rescue me.

But I went home empty-handed

Soaked from rain and...

Hope. False hope.

Unfulfilled promises.

Lies.


Don't wait for your superman

Be your own wonder woman.
