Since the silence was turning awkward and was not helping her flee this place, Soo-Ah thought she should appeal to the audience. Her verses had a way of touching their hearts.
Lifting her head, she turned to face them. With pleading eyes but a steady and confident voice, she recited,
"When one burns too bright
One needs to dim the light
Before the fuel runs dry
And darkness comes to find them drowned in a spoon of doubt."
As expected, a round of applause erupted across the room once more. She thanked them with a smile and hoped at least one of them would get the meaning of her words and come to her aid.
And another little quatrain of my own. As you can see I also like to dabble in poetry :)
