A Poem
2022-10-13

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.

beautiful language, sorrowful girl, may I become your friend and share with you my stories, though they may be plain and naive
