Dance with Life

I tried to dance with life
yet I forgot how,
see, through all the programming
dancing really isn’t allowed
Conform
Be Good
What will the neighbours think
I am told,
so now life has me waiting on the sidelines
hoping and anticipating
that maybe,
just maybe
I’ll dance again.
As a child
I danced all the time
to my own beat of my heart
until the music was turned way down,
fit in
don’t stand out
this is how it should be
I am told
yet
no one asked me
if it was aligned with my heart
so the music stopped
yet that is where I will find my music again
that only I can hear
and then
and only then
will I be able to dance again,
life has been calling me to dance
has it for you as well?
Then go dance and go within
so you too can hear the music
of your own heartbeat
