Don't Tell Me Who to Be

When my heart has quieted and my laughter died
Please, don't tell me who to be.
When I've overcome trouble and all of the times I've cried
Please, don't tell me who to be.
When we sit alone on a cold, cold night
Please, don't tell me who to be.
Don't tell me what to do,
Dont tell me what to choose.
Don't tell me what to love,
For I love the skies above.
Dont tell me what to sing,
For I don't bow down to any king.
Dont tell me who to be,
For I am me.

A Gesture is a Story


Swaying in the moonlight,

Or frolicking in plain sight

Just like a flock of different birds,

A gesture is a story, without so many words.


Each one tells something unique

It could be joyful or it could be bleak.

A full meaning, seen but unheard.

A gesture is a story, without so many words.


A twirl, a fall, a jump, a smack

Meaning, it does not lack.

And though it may seem absurd,

A gesture is a story, without so many words


Just Mortals

Just Mortals


Running and dancing, energy that you can not feign.

Gone is all the feeling

But also all the pain

Broken hearts are slowly healing.


Gone is all the feeling,

While whisking along the streets

Broken hearts are slowly healing

To the tapping of a foot, or even unearthly beats.


While whisking along the streets

They have no destination, just moving along.

To the tapping of a foot, or even unearthly beats.

They are all individuals, moving in a throng.


They have no destination, just moving along.

No rules to disobey,

They are all individuals, moving in a throng.

Just mortals, finding their way.

When I Dance

When I Dance


When I dance,

the whole world

melts away.


When I dance,

my worries

disappear,

and I am alone,

no matter

who is watching.


When I dance,

I am unaware

of the world,

just my movements,

there to comfort me.


When I dance,

There is no more

earth.

It’s just me


When I dance,

my emotions do not show in my face,

but in my body.


When I dance,

I am alive.
