Dance or die.

I was locked in a small room.
A pitiful flower waiting to bloom.
There was a figure torn from light.
I shook from this dreadful sight.

The shadow walked up to me.
Smoother then the calmest sea.
He hovered around me like a fly.
Calmly he said,"Dance or die".

At that time I was oblivious.
I thought it was quite ridiculous!
However,I was very, very wrong.
I  blindly danced to the song.

My loved ones taught me the steps.
And I danced with the cheering claps.
I was quite awful at this really.
But it's all I knew, so I continued cheery.

Now years later, a voice once erased.
It boomed back with it's soulless disgrace.
"Dance or die!" This time in pure anger.
So I danced, So I decided to surrender.

I still danced before the voice came.
But I danced out of will, not of shame.
Yet there I danced whole laps.
Until one day I collapsed.

Of course nobody paid mind to me.
There were far better dancers to see.
Yet slowly I started to shiver and die.
I raised my head, and asked why.

"I do not know", an emotionless voice gave me an answer.
"Why!?" I asked again. "Why do we all have to be a dancer!"
The voice never answered, and never spoke ever again.
I shook my head, and wondered if I was still sane.

Over and Over I hear the phrase "Dance or die".
I wonder if it is just a stupid pitiful lie.
At that moment, I rose up from my place.
I looked at the whole world, in utter disgrace.

"Why!?" I screamed. "Why dance your life away?"
I sat down, decided how the voice should pay.
Then I noticed I was fine, fine and alive!
I was all along, I was free from the hive!

No longer was I weak and dead.
I was happy and fully fed.
Again, I looked above into the skies.
The voice had fled and slowly died.

Free from this locked cage.
My fury couldn't be more enraged.

 As I look back into the still box
I see all the dancers in chained locks.

Here I am, outside and wings spread!
I looked at the new world, and fled.
Fled back into the ugly damp world.
Fled back into the dancing herd.

I fled as I saw one thing no man would want.
It was a pure sight from which one should flaunt.
Filled with love,freedom and embrace,
I cried, as I saw the place empty of any race.

So Back into the trance I went.
Back into the world I was sent.
Making my stupid little moves.
Just enough not to aimlessly lose.

And to this day I keep asking why?
Why do they walk when they can fly?
Yet here I am, blind as a bat.
Feeling trapped like a rat.
