what is this sinking feeling in my stomach?

it's the feeling of failing your first exam.


what is this burst of anxiety rocking my body?

it's the feeling of not fitting in.


what is this lump i feel in my throat?

it's the feeling of being the second, but never the first, choice.


what are these tears welling up in my eyes?

they're the pent up anger and sadness after hearing your parents screaming relentlessly at each other for the umpteenth time.


who is this skinny, unrecognisable girl staring back at me?

it's you, after all the mishaps. 




what happened to her?

why don't you ask her yourself.


why did she change?
