JUST BECAUSE

JUST BECAUSE I felt it, yet I really cannot explain There, it just happened once again A burning desire to clap and cheer But hold on, there is nobody here Perhaps I’m starting to go off piste I should take a deep breath at least Why am I stupidly waving this flag My hope of sanity is starting to sag It is as if I am celebrating an event But no crowd, no stage, nor a tent My smile must appear a rictus grin Something is making my head spin Standing alone in this muddy field Odd behaviour, my future’s sealed I see no cause for joyful expression Maybe I’m due for my next session I stopped myself as I began to shout Their advice is always to let it all out This is a fantasy like the Land of Oz You ask me why, well, just because
