Less Likely To Dance

Dress not so pretty 

head down, instead of high

less likely to dance

but has the power

to fight the whys

find the strength inside

find the you 

with personal pride

dress not so pretty

then make it seem to be

for the dancing elite 

do not dance with envies feet

no one on your dancing card

then cast a spell of you

less likely to dance 

does not have to be

yearning and turning

can be turned into a fight

dancing alone

is everyone's right

look into the mirror

repeating the phrase

yes it is back in the old school days

I think I can, I think I can

then you will learn

what I think is what I am

less likely to dance 

is what used to be

now enter the dance floor

dress still not so pretty 

with head held high

thinking I am, I can

As young people make your way in this world only to do one thing, to feel accepted, a sense of belonging even if it means putting on a mask, lying about who you really are. Great write!
