The razor was blunt today.
I tried dragging it across my skin but it refused to make a mark,
and only after multiple attempts of going over the same spot,
did it leave indentations in my skin.

The water at the bottom of the tub was purple today.
It reminded me that much like the colour of my hair,
everything is temporary
and that everything we think will last forever,
doesn't.

The candle I've been burning in my room finished today.
I no longer have an excuse to burn matches,
because that's the only reason I had a candle,
The flame replaced the lack of fire inside of me.

The wifi got turned on again today.
It had been off for two weeks,
but no one seemed to notice,
because I didn't have any new messages.

Today, wasn't a great day.
But that doesn't mean there won't be any.
Today, I learnt to push past the darkness.
Today, is a new day,
And I will live it in happiness.

Nothing can stop me, not tomorrow, not yesterday, not today.
