THIS IS MY STORY

Just round the corner

Onto the next lane

Sloping wards,down

Thoughtful,I thought





I count,counter a number

People do pass

Seem thoughtful,too

They too,seem

Having a story of their own

One or two,a numerous

A similar story,like mine





Across the street,this person

So sad,but not remorseful

Down-looking,a guilt-conscious

Gives way to all,particularly not all

Avoids second glances

So incognito,I realise





To a few,his eyes tell it all

"My Story"

This is my story





His face,too cold

Lost to the thoughts

Talking to himself

"H..ar...dy,tim.e..s,..go by,"incoherently

Quite unhopefully

Indeed,its my story





Walk up to him

Touch his shoulder,but turns no back

"Live through it,friend"

Walks on

How I see him no more....





Looking for him,I

Remember my disastrous relationship,

Then the financial crisis

How about the halt to status?

The colour I wear,another stopage

I stop, look through the glass window

All smiles inside

Downs on me,there,all alone





I give up the chase

This I decide,to go back and catch up

An untold story

To retell the story sometime after

This is my story;





(Once upon a time,.......)
