My feet cannot dance
Catch a rhythm or beat
Cannot feel the way the music moves, repeats
My feet often stumble
Refusing to move
the way that I can see them, inside, do
I watch with a longing
Painful, pervading,
as you gracefully leap, creating.
I tell my feet, dance,
But they do not listen
My heart begs to sway,
To be lost in the music
But the music is trapped
Within my chest
Scornful smiles meet my feeble attempts
As light feet, twirls, grace, surround me
But if you could see within my mind
The beauty, the light, the emotion profound
Inside, I am moving, swaying, feeling
Expressing myself
There is no one mocking, or jeering, or judging
But only my own breathtaking beauty.
You cannot see, but I can hear
You cannot know, but I can feel
My feet cannot dance,
But my heart always will.
