Dance of Life

Part 1.

Dance of Life

Luma to the stage, you are on in 5.
I make my way to the wing
Ready to dance
Ready to preform

my nervousness getting to me
I need to please
I need to be prefect
ready? who knows

3, 2, 1, here we go
1, 2 ,3, 1, 2, 3,
flowing beautifully
praying not to do one wrong step

spinning to the tune
the song of this life
the crowd lifeless 
not caring

it's getting faster as a grow
getting more intense
trying to please everyone 
trying to be beautiful

getting ready for my best part
trying to calm down
three, two, on-
*crack*

the crowd roars with laughter 
I fell..
down to nothing
my nervs getting worse

I look to the crowd
as they laugh
my face a mess
tears staining my face

but as I look
I see them,
my friends,
family, as they dance beside me

they look to me with love
kindness
hope
sympathy 

I get back up 
thinking,
why do I please them?
why do I try to do something I hate?
why for them?

Being Me

Hi Luma!  Great first post for Cosmo! Welcome!!

If only life could be rehearsed! But it's not. We have to jyst carry on no matter what. And when you think of it, we need to fall sometimes in order for us to rise. Great thought provoking poem x

why do I try to do something I hate?

Very good question. No one should if not for money/fame etc. First time for me to read a poem about dance - nice.

Yes it is, I guess people do it because people told them? or they feel they must? who knows! but thank you!

Reminds me of a stage appearance in a kindergarten play where I literally messed up and everybody loved me anyway. Again, a vivid description 😊

So sad and pretty! <3 Why force yourself to do something you don't even love? Many people struggle with this and to those, a message:
Be yourself always! You are enough! <3
