Sending reason on
a much needed vacation
I scramble out of the straitjacket
of expected behaviour
I gingerly unclasp my shyness
and carefully drape it on the chair
the outward calm belies
the turmoil within
the knot in my stomach refusing to budge
I shush the mind
and listen to my heart
ignoring its wild palpitations
straightening my uncooperative spine
I plunge headlong into the crowd
reminding myself this was just one off
I would never crash a wedding again!
Love the unexpected ending!
