Salsa, not the chi
I spend my weekends reminding kids
that it's ok to feel alone..
to not know where you're going..
to be without a home.
I work at a teen shelter
And there's more bad than good.
My job is to provide aid in crisis
so teens can live the life they should.
After work I'm filled with emotions
from those I've met and those I've seen.
Dancing is the only way
to make me feel serene.
Salsa -not the chip-
is the style that fuels my fire.
Ten minutes on the dance floor
and my mood is ten times higher.
I love my job and what I do,
but it really takes its toll.
Dancing, briefly, everyday
is what keeps me whole.
