Times are hard

I look to the sky,

I'm wondering why,

Despite everything I do,

I'm still feeling blue.

The sudden goodbye,

I'm left here wondering why,

A thought of fear,

Was my end to the year.

As if I'm crying,

And you wouldn't know,

That you hurt me so.

There are no meanings to my teardrops,

Here I am, trying to stop.

Like a time machine that whisks you to and fro,

I'm stuck here by a love that's trying to grow,

Like a time machine that whisks you to and fro,

I'm stuck here by a love that can never mature.

I can overflow with tears and still never know the meaning,

Of a romance, or even that feeling.

Oh Time Machine please take me far away from here,

So I'd never love you or hold you dear.

I know, it sounds love-sick or something. But to be honest, it's not that.

It's a New Year. May 2012 be good to everyone.

So many incidents happened in 2011, I find it hard to believe that I'm still the same person. Sure, there are some changes but inside, I'm still me. I've learnt many things, like how life has its ups and downs, life how happiness, despite how much we want it to last forever, simply will not be perpetual, like how good friends can suddenly become strangers, like how it feels to be lonely, even when we aren't literally alone, like how the world doesn't always work as we want it to and so on...

When I think back through 2011, I honestly feel like crying; not because I am sad or depressed or angry or upset or anything like that... it's simply because there are too many emotions squeezed into a short period of time that my mind can't seem to handle.

For better or for worse, thank you to everyone who went through 2011 with me, and I hope we can still go through 2012 together. Here's to another good year, cheers!
