Scream from within

Pardon me for suddenly popping up with a poem or verse or whatever you call it. Just xin1 xue4 lai2 chao2... And I can't believe I actually wrote something like this in English... Anyway, I think this is just some piece of trash and it's my first time writing such stuff. I'm not a linguistic or literary person, so don't blame me for coming up with this uh.... whatever form of writing you call it. I don't know what it is anyway, neither do I care.

Listen! Pray listen to me.
I know your feet are too huge to fit into my shoes,
but at least a fairly huge portion of your soles can go in.
Have you tried?
Why won't you try?
A perfect fit is not what I want,
Coz' I know my shoes are no longer of your taste.
But remember, your feet was once this size,
and you once wore such shoes.
Have you forgotten the feeling -
the feeling of wearing the shoes of adolescence?
This pair is my favourite pair,
the pair that brings me to the world
and to your favourite place - my school.
It was a gift from you,
but why now, are you giving it signs of denial and disapproval?
Nonetheless, I still have to wear it for the next two years.
This, your say cannot change.
Do you know?
I tried wearing your shoes many times,
Sandals, court shoes, dancing shoes.
They are all too big a size for my feet.
But one day my feet will grow to fit those shoes.
When, then, are you going to give my shoes a try?

rhapsody in blue.
