School Night Festival

A special work. Very special to me at the moment.

On this Winter night stranger than ever,
A recluses as I endures a frantic fever,
For the first time since I was but a lad,
For the first time ever, I've ceased from being mad,
On this night, as I watch the crowd moves by,
My emotions keep going lows and highs,

I wish for the first time ever,
For stalls to have their rightful customers,
Who will seek their wares,
And admire them with such care,

I wish for the first time ever,
For loners to indulge in this festive affair,
Without the fears of social scares,
And an escape from their haunting nightmares,

I yearned, for the first time ever,
To indulge myself in this social fever,
Under this strange Winter night at my school festival,
I dress myself up as myself, but much Less Formal.

And ... I enjoyed it. For the first time ever.
