Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you will land among the stars <br /> By Les Brown

Sweat laces my brow,
My hands are clammy,
I walk outside,
It's blue and sunny.

My head is dizzy,
I feel so sick,
I run to the toilet,
My thoughts are thick.

I lock the door,
Lean against the wall,
My head spins,
As i start to fall.

My mind's a blur,
I hit the wall,
The bin falls,
As light grows small.

I wrote this poem based on a personal experience. It was scary and frightening and this helped me express my feelings behind this incident.

~a woman looked at me and said, &quot;You know, you really don&#039;t look Indian.&quot;So I smiled at her and responded: &quot;Well you don&#039;t look stupid, but appearances can be awfully deceiving.&quot;~
