Blood rushing through my veins.
Hands and feet shaking beneath the floor.
The atmosphere of a courtroom really makes my mind rattle with an unknown robust, sturdy sound. It's like a psycho ward that separates me from reality. I dread this sporadic place. It's for radicals only. My turn came to be in the witness stand. I need to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. I sat still. All eyes on me but my eyes glued on the Judge. Words in my head came bustling. Each wanna be the first. What will I say? How will I say it? What will be their reaction? Time stood fast with no 'ah' nor 'eh' from my mouth. The Judge looked at me intently. I'm back from my temporary insanity. Words then came flowing from my mouth. I quavered. As I said it, I rested my eyes on the Judge. Good thing He's there because there's no way I can thrive from this venom. At the back of my mind,my human impertinence is working. I dont wanna cry-in layman's term PRIDE. When Im done, I stared in their eyes. The thing I've been holding on. It came rushing in their cheeks. I dont wanna be the reason of their sorrow. All I wanted is to be the source of their happiness.How insensitive, dumb, stupid, selfish, horrible I am to not mind their feelings. My time was over. My lawyer escorted me back to my seat. The Judge winked at me. Did He liked it? Did He enjoyed watching their tears? I didn't really know how He felt. After all-He's the Judge. All the other witnesses confessed their unentertained hurt feelings. I was astonished-we were on the same boat. Just as the Judge opened His mouth to give His verdict, I heard my name being called. Someone shouted in my ear. It's Dr.Rosaroso!!!Oh!!my ever dearest beloved teacher who gave us jaw-breaking, nerve-wrecking research!!! As we were working on our research. Wind from the south, north, east and west collided in the SPEd Center. Then someone tapped me in the back and said,'It'sopen forum no.3'.
A POEM
Such ladies they are to me,
Sisters in Christ we ought to be,
Candid,candor, candent light they shed me,
Illuminate this evil inside me.
Such love of Jesus Christ, Lord Almighty,
I thank Him for blessing me,
Five gracious ladies,
Full of warmth, care and love for everybody.
Each day with you is Valentine's day,
Each moment without you is misery.
Five angels He sent me,
They embraced me for what I can be.
Bound with disparities,
Common difference exalt Thee.
Attached with their fostering spirits,
I believe it's not fortuity- its DESTINY
