I must make it home

Well there isnt much that I can say
even though I really enjoyed
most of today

so it isnt a secret
that I cant study outside
not at starbucks or KFC
or even on a bus ride

and I still cant believe
that my spectacles actually fell apart
it was my favourite pair
and I could feel the pain in my heart

I was on the verge of
being scared to death
going home all by myself
after Pearlyn left

I had to be strong
through the night
even though I lost
half my sense of sight

I turned all of my fear
to anger and determination
"I must make it home"
my mind never lost concentration

I had to ask strangers
for their kind assistance
relying on my courage
and everlasting persistance

when I finally made it back
I gave a sigh of relief
showed my parents my broken specs
much to their disbelief

I felt so lucky
I didnt receive a lecture
but trust me
that was one hell of an adventure
