“To dance is to cry!”
I scream at them
Their laughter echoing off the walls at the sight of my
Dancing feet
“We’re only teasing,” they say
But things are not always what they seem
They attempt to chain me, to stop my dancing feet
From letting my emotions free
“She is different from us,” they whisper amongst themselves
“This simply cannot be.”
“But I must dance!” I cry as they chain my
Dancing feet
“To dance is to cry,” they repeat for me
Despisement clearly seen
“Please stop!” I beg, my face wet with tears
“Please let me dance my song!”
“You are different, a stranger to us,” they hiss
As they
Wrap.
The.
Chains.
“We cannot wait for your downfall.”
They finally constrict my feet, forcing me to stop
“There!” They exclaim triumphantly, “now she cannot dance!”
At all.
