The Fish
International College Hong Kong, Ho, Alyssa - 11
As I swam in the
Cool waters,
Following the endless bridge,
I start to see the
Brilliant coral
Reefs surrounding me.
I could hear
The cars roaring,
I could hear people
Chattering in
Cantonese and Putonghua.
Rising up to the surface,
I could see the gigantic sky scrapers
Towering above me,
The colorful bright lights shining
Through the waters,
An artwork to admire.
People dancing
To the traditional
Chinese music,
An aura of excitement.
Higher and higher,
I could smell the
Steamed dumplings.
I could smell the Chinese buns.
Everything was perfect up
There.
But me,
I was just filled with
Loneliness.
All I ever wanted was to be
Human.
How happy they are,
To have a family filled with joyfulness.
I cried and cried that night,
Will someone ever fulfill my impossible
Dream?
