Breaking down barriers defined by races
Each step moves to the beat of my heart
Crossing lines so that one day they can be erased
Unchoreographed- its free form- my part

My song, full of life, is moving in my veins
Head held up high- I will not fall
Refusing to follow- instead I'm the first to lead
Building bridges to avoid a wall

'What [race] are you?' is the common language
I twist and turn- arms like a halo above my head
All I say is 'Human'- who cares who thinks I'm a b****
A being of movement-traveling where no one goes

Bending back and leaping forward feeling the beat
I'm a white girl who doesn't care whether she can dance
Hips forward , circling forward- I barely move my feet
If I have to sit with my kind- then I'll just have to stand

Questioning the values that everyone seems to stick by
I can't be off beat because I'm in sync with my own tune
if stereotypes define the way we act-I refuse to comply
Smiling to be alive though everyone says I move too soon


People don't understand because they can't hear the music
Set me up to fail and I promise you -nothing will stop me
wrong steps in the wrong order but it all feels so right
Try to limit what I can do and it'll shock you who I can be!


*I thought I put this up but I gues snot- I know I tried but if it shows up twice- someone message me and wanna let me know? And then I'll edit and put something else in

If you have a chance would you look at goodbye by me? I'd really like to know your thoughts.

"My song, full of life, is moving in my veins" after reading this poem my mind kept wandering back to this line and I cant help but feel it is something I will find impactful and memorable. It really related all the points and mood you addressed and think about how it relates to life. I look forward to reading more of your poetry. (:
