My Silhouette is My Friend
Across the wall dances my shadow... never once letting my dreams go.
My spirits stay strong,
even though some don’t understand what I do
I just want to fade in a place where
I know I belong
a place so soft that when I breathe, the delicate steam rolls off my tongue.
So delicate that I feel at home, at ease;
My silhouette is a
D
A
N
C
E
R
the kind that doesn’t need permission to move the way I want,
the kind that sees beauty in my quirky movement.
I am tired:
so tired of trying to please you,
I dance for me
NOT
you;
Dance is something so bright and glorious I get lost in a sea of
happiness, happiness that translates into freedom.
I want freedom for more than my soul, I want it for
my silhouette
too.
