Sometimes during dance rehearsal
I'll escape to an empty hallway and practice
on my own when no one is around
Just me
some music
and a few memories
That's all I need to feel myself
close my eyes and tip toe over the
slippery floor like frogs on lily pads
It's beautiful
To dance like that
Alone
That's when I'm in my element...
Dancing in peace
I don't need a thousand people looking
at me to perform, just a quiet room because
darkness and silence can be enough
Nothingness can be enough
even when it might be nice to have
an audience smiling at the art you created
So don't disturb me when I'm
dancing, because one day you'll
find out I wasn't actually dancing alone-
I was dancing with
all the emotions that can't
stay still in my brain
