| A DAY IN THE LIFE OF ME by Lisa Lau | |
|
More... |
Today, another day in 2003, |
| *Mum, I am mad... | woke up, went to the mirror to look at me, |
| What the hell... | checked for pimples or blackheads, |
| My Dream | while the other half of me desperately want to go back to bed. |
| *So Many Ways | The I take my first move towards the door, |
| Dark Rain | Wishing that I don't have to go to school anymore. |
| Gone | At 6:30, |
| Why? | I'm all set and ready, |
| *Goodbye | To go to that stupid school, |
| *My Little Secret | Where all the teachers are hard and cruel, |
| Put into words | Then at 6:38, |
| What is sex? | I'm already at the school gate, |
| *Popping Pimples | I walked into the building, |
| Psycho... | Still wishing I was sleeping. |
| *Chicken | At 7:40, |
| *A day in the life... | The bell rings, |
| *Crazy Poem... | Unfortunately the prefect making announcements is still saying things. |
| *True Friends | Then finally, |
| Have you? | we go up to class, |
| but I still feel like I'm behind bars. | |
| I get to sit my butt on chair, | |
| and then breathe in some fresh air. | |
| I ask my partner, | |
| ' Today first period what?' | |
| I'm still staring at her, | |
| then she replies, | |
| ' Umm...Geography!' | |
| I try not to express my frustration, | |
| For who likes to learn, | |
| this is like, total torture, | |
| like I'm stuck in here forever. | |
| Then, finally recess! | |
| Just after doing my stupid Math test, | |
| Whew, what a break! | |
| It was so damn hard, I was cracking my head. | |
| Now, it's finally over, | |
| but Lai Se Yen's face is so sober, | |
| then I ask her why, | |
| she replies, | |
| ' Aiyah, sure die!' | |
| Well, I don't want to talk about school hours, | |
| where most people's (or rather pupils) faces are sour. | |
| I ran to my mum's car, which is so damn far, | |
| just to meet my mother's face, | |
| the she asks, | |
| ' Wei, why so late?!' | |
| I arrived back home, | |
| and put my bag down, | |
| I quickly grab a comb, | |
| To comb my hair down. | |
| The I sit at the kitchen table, | |
| Just to be surprised by vegetables, | |
| when I ask my mother what's that, | |
| She replies, | |
| ' Eat. Vegetarian food. Less fat so you don't grow fat!' | |
| Then, | |
| my eyes began to ache, | |
| I'm longing to take a break. | |
| I moved towards the sofa, | |
| just to be stopped by my mother yelling, | |
| ' Wei! No sleeping, I don't want you to grow fat!' | |
| Why does she keeps on saying that?!" | |
| Then, I move towards the computer, | |
| to go to the internet, | |
| the first thing I do is to find people I can chat, | |
| Mana tau meet Crystal Lim, | |
| then, end up having to write a stupid poem, | |
| So, that, people, | |
| is how this poem was created! | |
