The Final Chapter of A Storm

i won’t be crossing that bloody causeway again

i won’t be stuck in the crowded bus, MRT etc etc.. again

i won’t be trapped in that tiny room again

i won’t be eating like no tomorrow again

i won’t be having endless nightmare again

*

i won’t have to miss home again

i won’t have to wonder what am i doing now again

i won’t have to crack my head over calculus again

i won’t have to lie to myself that time is flying again

i won’t have to pretend i am surviving again

*

i have skipped lectures

i have skipped tutorials

i have skipped meetings

i have skipped works

i have skipped exams

*

because…

finally

it’s all over

i have quitted NUS for real

i have quitted Singapore forever

*
