It's written based on a song sung by a Chinese singer. I wrote this poem several months ago for fun.
Peering at the cerulean sea, I felt etiolated and stood there motionless without tears.
Lifting my head, I saw the sky mottled with patches of clouds, and I felt agitated.
"My heart resembles a capsized boat, vanishing into the sea as waves lap against the shore," I said sotto voce.
I couldn't espy the harbor that's supposed to be the shelter for me to tide over the storm.
Although it's not far from here
I kept looking around, trying to find my bearings.
I kept walking even though my face was etched with tiredness.
I kept thinking some questions as I stravaiged
Who's the ruler in my life?
Why would I have to play to the gallery and run with the flow every day?
I get older as time wears on.
Yet I'm still a husk laden with the feeling of emptiness
Weighed down by a sense of solitude
Only all the old memorizes still flash through my mind, like gusts of wind that tousle a girl's hair
Causing ripples in my heart and making me cry.
I miss all the old days.
I miss all the joyful memorizes.
I miss the time when I still held my nanny's hands and behaved like a coddled baby.
Time changes everything.
Not just my looks but how I perceive this world.
I think I'm a misfit banished to the wildness.
Just like reverting to the stone age.
Yet I don't even want to bleat about it.
Because I feel elated when I think of you.
With all the happy memorizes washing over me.
I closed my eyes and wiped off the tears with my own hand.
I peered into the gloom. It's frigid and inky.
I told myself to keep walking.
"I'm not stopping until the day I'm too exhausted to move or even to think.
Then all I have to do is close my eyes after watching the blue sky dappled with scudding clouds.
And say adieu."
I said to myself.
