Dancing Through Inspirations
Dancing Through Inspirations
By: Desiree Harris

The seed started out sliding my feet to Micheal Jackson
Even though I couldn’t get it, I still would always practice
Then I went to Chris Brown, with the same inspiration
After seeing Michael’s funeral on the tv station
So that’s when I discovered dance, most important, the art
I appreciate those two, it kept me from the dark
And when I say the dark, I don’t mean hiding from the light
Cause I promise I’ll be up dancing when parents said goodnight
I don’t just dance physically, but in my head too
When the music gets to bumping, I create the moves
People were looking at me crazy, like “why she keeps on moving?”
Then insecurity rises up, “Should I stop?”, “ What am I doing?”
But I paint a picture, Im not into the scribble scrabbles
Who is criticism, don’t judge, can’t recognize the babble
Dance, who I love so much, and still, to this day
Adults just tell me to sit down, but I just disobey
This message is for you, to really do what you really love
And if you ever get discouraged, keep your eyes above
Don’t you ever let the word “can’t” be even in a sentence
Let that plaintiff come out of pocket, just be the defendant
So let the inspiration guide you through something called life
And don’t let no one else live it just to tell you what’s right, Right?
