Famous
I wonder how the night will be
The same nervousness inside
But a little more excited than dreading of the night ahead
Boutonnieres and corsages being exchanged,
As many flashes of light come from different directions
The sound of people saying “look here,” “now here”,
As if famous people were standing before them
Knowing it was time to leave;
Rounding everyone up and put them into a car
as if they were cattle being put in a barn
Heading toward the sounds of the excited teens
The uneasiness comes back right before they pull in
They arrive
whoosh, heat, humidity
Is it worth being here?
Person after person piling in,
adding to the moisture
People coming up saying “hi”, “you look beautiful”,
“I love your dress,” and many other polite compliments
Heading down to the sea of teens
Moving to the rhythm
The time was fun
But the fun had to end
Before the final song
The apprehension came again
And people’s words pierce the heart
Walking away with tears in the eyes-
No one cares.
I’m all alone.
