Just For Once Poem by Shijo Jose

Just for once, step out
See the world before you
Watch the people around
A contrast of emotions

Just for once, try smiling.
Talk to people beside you
Watch faces brighten up
Having found a friend

Just for once, don't hide
Share secrets with friends
Watch all burdens lighten
The inner fears fading away

Just for once, laugh on
Conjure happiness out of nothing
Watch minds open free
To an endless fiesta

Just for once, let go
Bleed all your fears away
Watch optimism creep into you
Reasons to start anew

Just for once, try it
Try to be yourself
Watch dreams come alive
Right into your life
