I did not respect my health Keep track of my friends Sharpen and expand my mind Or appreciating my wealth Do I have remorse Concerning all these thoughts A strange force Bothering me a lot Why do they bother me now I have lived a long time Will it change somehow My story rhyme The pace my life progresses In a repetitive motion Failures and successes Indifferences and emotions Up and down Round and round A priest or a clown Mute or with sound What I have learned Is I can fight it But I will get burned Or use my wit Learn the dance Forward and back Retreat and advance Seek peace and attack Dancing is easy Moving to the beat Not at all cheesy Beautiful when expressed The dance presents understanding And maturity Your emotional health is expanding Giving you security Security to be yourself Security to let someone go Security to be alone Security to be alright Alright is not hard Or overrated You can lower your guard Throw away things hated Why walk on eggshells Every step of the way Jump at each bell To keep the family gay Wait to be invited Like a waiting taxicab Feel judged and indicted A jab or a stab Sounds very frightening But all I wish Is emotional enlightening And to dance with a swish Twirl about Skip to the tune These things have no clout I am immune I dance with charming traits Knowing I am good And so much awaits Without any falsehoods Taken for granted Highlighting my faults Their beliefs are slanted But I will waltz To their reverberations And their misrepresentations Dancing on my foundations Forgetting the frustrations My dance is divine To and foe And it is all mine The ebb and flow The coming and going Enjoying the song That rhythm flowing I have grown strong
