A Grey Weekend

这次是要求用尽可能通俗以及通俗的形式写成诗歌。

Wake up in the morning like a drunk, I struggle to open my swollen eyes

which have already been two red walnuts because of the last night weeping.

Sitting in the bed with nothing in my mind. The only posture I keep for almost two minutes is that staring at the blank white wall in front of me.

I can't think anything. I don't want to think about anything.

A sharp ringtone tears the silence and brings me back to the reality, however,

the familiar name and smiling face on the phone screen make me feel nervous.

So, turn off the phone after a glance and throw it quickly at a corner far way from me. No, no, please don't call me again…

I don't want to answer the phone. I can't answer the phone.

I won't tell them that a naked guy came into my room last night when I was sleeping; I won't tell them that I was too scared to move, even an inch; I won't tell them anything of course because they will worry about me.

Unconsciously, tears are full in my eyes and roll down my cheeks like the broken pearl necklace. I try to wipe away the tears but it turn to more and more…

Then, take a deep deep breath and close the eyes tightly, I murmur: “ calm down, calm down, everything will be okay, everything thing will be okay...”

Yes! The past will be past. Fortunately, I wasn't injured by the guy. So, get out of the bed, pick up my phone, and call back to them.

“Hi, mom, how are you doing?”
