A place among the crowd

The poem shares a perspective about when people are running around in the world to see themselves on the billboard, before pleasing the crowd they must appreciate themselves for their desires.

I stood in the crowd,

staring at the billboard

wondering where I'd stand.

If I could just speak what's in mind,

only if I could see what's there,

know what it takes,

stand where I should

but that's where I try

I try, to try to dance until I can

and then, try again.

For when I can,

and when I stand

and when I dance,

I'll be me

and the world will see

who I am

where I am

and there the stage will be,

where I'll be me.

 

and no one else would say

that you need a stage for yourself

cause when I'll dance,

when I'll try

and when I'll sing

and twirl and be myself,

I'll be the stage,

I'll be the crowd

I'll be dancing

on the streets full of crowd

that I don't need.

The world will be on your feet

that's what they all say

but who cares for the world,

when you are there

where you're supposed to be

cause you're the world

and you're the crowd.

Clapping hands they praise you

reaching from your soul

they stand by you

and every time you twirl

they gasp in awe

and the moment stands still,

tears roll down your cheeks

and you see,

what you always wanted to see

A place among the crowd.
