OUR REASON TO DANCE

everyone has a dream
our dream is to dance
sometimes it can become tough
when we aren't given the chance
"where's dancing gonna get you"
some parents just don't get it
we dance because we love it                                        
not from how much we'll get from it
don't ever let anyone put you down,
if its the one thing you want.
it is your dream, not theirs
and they'll soon understand

IN THIS DANCE

down my face, tears fall
like notes in a sad, sad song

I move to the music that is my life
and it makes everything right that is wrong                                                                                                                     

I jump and spin
like the craziness within
I leap and I fall
like my attempts of getting over a blocking wall

sometimes I turn and lose my spot
I forget where I am suppose to be going

dizziness sets in and as I move
I forget to be ever flowing

but sometimes there is beauty in being ungraceful
because to the art I am being faithful

there is a passion in the oddness, the uniqueness
I am an abstract art
dancing the feelings of this world as my life falls apart

but in this dance I find the answer
I find the pieces I need to keep my life together

I DANCE FOR LOVE
