Other people were laughing, smiling; seemingly having a good time
Then there was me — with my sad face. Going out of my mind. Full of ME..
Isolated, quiet, helpless, hopeless — my fears got the best of me
If only they knew what I wanted to express — to have them hear and see
But, as the night winded down, I relaxed and became serene
My dreads and apprehension were quenched — the night had become un-mean
Feeling rejuvenated and new — wanting to share my newfound start..
I tapped someone I knew on the shoulder; I smiled from my Heart.
I lay in bed that night — I wondered about the cause of the change
The numbness I still felt had been lifted for short lapse of sweet peace
Ten years have gone by since that night of glimpsed Hope into the yonder
A reward of placidness of spirit is here… Upwards I do look..!
