Twirling and spinning,
Portraying all emotion.
Passion and love,
Verses
Heartache and hurting.

Reaching and pulling,
Connecting each movement.
Sinuous movements,
Verses
Sharp attacks.

This is the freedom
That I hold so dear.
All expressions becoming clear.
Most of you don’t understand,
This freedom is all I have.

What is the freedom you wonder?
That has me feeling and acting?
Dance.
One simple word,
For one complex thing.
Dance.

The author's comments:
I want others to be able to feel how feel when I dance. All the freedom you have to be creative and all the work you put in to make something beautiful is what gets me through the days.

&quot;I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There&#039;s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it. &quot;
