Glowworm

Missed the 7 AM tram
Backhanded beverage
Toe run over (wheelchair_)
Angry traffic

Rain on food & papers
Lost work on 12 PM tram
Frenzied, windblown_
Called down by a professor

Got every answer wrong
Failed with a 59.9
Missed 2 PM tram_
Later to next hour

Lecture hall is packed
Falls down on way to front
(The one day I wear a skirt_)
Again, wrong every answer

Turn & see an ex
Makeup smeared by tears & hands
He stops me later, after lecture_
Asks for my number, again

(Finally, a chance to smile)
Flash him the ring on my left
No matter how horrid_ I look or feel
When it comes to you, I sprout wings

I glow.
