Lost and Alone
In a dark night I am lost and alone
Far from home without a phone
In my car in a rural area
I feel the beginnings of hysteria
My heart pounds as does the beat of the rain
I calm myself to prevent feeling insane
There is no human being or building in sight
Became mad at myself for getting into this plight
I stop and park in a less muddy spot
A car passing by seemed a long- shot
I never experienced such lonely places
Would welcome the sight of strangers' faces
As the now light pat of rain puts me to sleep
Beside my car shines the lights of a jeep
A man walked out and knocked
My car door were locked
I pulled the window down half way
To hear what he was about to say
He asked if I needed aid
I was not at all feeling afraid
Expressed my frustration
Then handed him a paper with the destination
He advised me to turn around
In a quarter of a mile the location could be found
"On the right there is a mailbox by the dirt road
Go straight down and you will find the address you showed."
