When You're Small


When you're small 

is your voice proportional? 

If you're not always seen

can you be heard? 

 

Can you 

sing

write dance 

EXPRESS......

? 

 

When you're small 

there are towering giants. 

Sometimes

they make you shiver in your shoes. 

 

When you grow older, 

but not taller, 

there are still towering giants. 

 

Sometimes

you shiver in your shoes

but not necessarilly 

because of the towering giants. 

 

You can 

sing

write dance 

EXPRESS...

.

 

When you're small,

having grown older but not taller,

sometimes you just have to.
