Her song played
She sprung out of her seat
and twirled onto dancefloor
And let the rhythm
control her body
Lost in the moment
“Naye kawala ako keelaga”
Disapproving eyes studied
her unbridled display
Critical tongues wagged
Their faces as disgusted as their words
But in their chests the silent scream
Wishing they too had the nerve
To drink deep, and live full
their Glass is full,
but Their hearts are empty
