Never Ending Adventures of Greater Bay
GT (Ellen Yeung) College, Wong, Sam U Reena
Standing in the rain,
Drowned in numbing pain,
Oh, how I wish I could stay!
Stepping up the bridge,
My breath wouldn’t cringe,
I pray to God to true my wish.
Therefore, I shall fall,
Unremembered this all,
Yet, I sense a faint call.
“Don’t jump!
For the happiness, the fun
The ventures yet to come!”
“All there is that’s waiting for me,
Is the complete darkness, I’ve yet to see,
Just let me fall to endless sleep.”
“Oh, tell me your sorrows,
What made you feel hollow?
You know there’s always a tomorrow.”
“But there’s no one I could follow,
And everything had crumbled,
I’ll always feel alone.
Oh, kind whisper please stay,
And hear my confession out,
It may lessen this drowning pain.”
“I’m all ears my friend,
I’ll stay with no end,
And listen no matter when.”
“Kind whisper,
I have no peers,
For I don’t belong here.
I’m from Hong Kong,
Known for protests and riots,
So we’ve never got along.
Their words as knifes,
Stabbing in deep,
But I’ll just silently weep”
“My friend,
Then go home,
To where you’ve always known.”
