Surrender Your Soul


All I need in this life is Dance

 

What once was a recreation

Has turned simple movements into a celebration

Dance demands nothing of myself

Dance, however, pleas for some emotion felt

I am able to convey mute-less expressions

Release endorphins, euphoria, or transgressions

For one who is not well with words

It permits a stoic storyteller to become a stellar nerd

Dance makes life divine, 

For, it's something I cope with to ignore, "I'm fine"

My burdens are relieved

Dancing grasps me back to what is crucial, so I am not astringed

It allays my fears

Dance yanks my heart near to my brain

So I can stop feeling regret, abandonment, and pain

Dance is a pacific state, an incalculable freedom,

And an eternal bliss: the perfect sum

 

All I need in this life is Dance

 

It helps me adjust to change

 

Without dance, I will never be the same
