#74 Personal - Dancing

I did not dance to please the crowds

No, I danced just for me

I danced hard and I danced loud

As I became the symphony



I danced because it filled in my veins

Because I felt the rhythm

I danced because it healed all pains

And closed up every schism



I danced to know I could dance at all

To marvel that my feet could tap in time

I danced because it made me tall

Even as the beat began to climb



I danced so the music could not fade

To ensure that not one note dropped

I danced because I was afraid

To what would happen if I ever stopped



And now I'm caught up in my tempo

I can't control the pace

And now you may call me yellow

But I don't want to leave this race



Because this dance may be my peak

The most beautiful thing I'll ever do

And now I dance because I'm weak

I dance because I can't bare not to



I dance because I see,

There will never be a second act

So wherever this dance may send me

I will dance it on, and that's a fact
