Chigbo Solomon Peter Poet I do not know?

My Odyssy

With a brittle heart immutable 
I fight a formidable battle with myself 
How do I sketch this scenerio 
In the midst of plenty peoples 
Yet unnoticed, plenty happy faces: mine like one who took lemon instead of orange 

Standing demurely in the room 
My presence could only provoke 
A tenuous interest from onlookers 

Am I in the wrong place?. 
I asked myself with a heart bereft of emotions, I need a beer interlude. 
This reunion must start all over 

Only then did I realise that 
This was for the class of 94
Mine is 95
Oh Lord!,  I thought I was insane
