DANCE

People are proud
They love when you look up to them
They can hate when you look across the table
They hate more when they look up you

So my child
People will hate on you
Not because you are that bad
Sometimes they are afraid that you will look at eachother across the table
Maybe because they will look up to you

If you fail my child
It is not because of your colour or sex
It is not because they hate on you
It is because of you 

My child
It is hard for a person of our race to break through
At home or abroad
But people have made it through
And have turned out better than diamonds

So you know who you are
Not how people look at you
If a pink panther can dance more than a hating human
It is better anyway and it will not matter in a free world

So dance and don't blame the slippery floor
Turn your waist the best you can even if you have no shoes
Swing like a god even if your butt is bare
Do your best let the world sleep with its care
Dance if that is all you can offer

WHEN WORDS WOULDN'T SPEAK

When words have nothing to say But the heart is full What would speak for you? What would speak to you? When the quiet of a heart And the sound of a meldy Would resonate with your truth That words could never say When you have to quietly shout to the world Silenltly tell your story What would speak to you? What would talk to you? When the chrip of birds And the rumbling of a waterfall Would not speak to you When quiet would not do What would speak to you? What would talk for you? What would authentically tell the world your story Authentically Not hiding a single note of the rhythm of your heart What would tell the world your desire Your fears and terror What would speak to you? What would speak for you? An old melody That holds a memory A sound that holds a longing That knows the notes of your heart Would that speak for you? Would it speak to you?

THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up Does not trivialize your pain The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound Does not mean you never cried The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy The fact that you are alive and happy Does not mean you aren't dead A strange ghost animating your body Not your dream self The fact you woke up with a plan Does not mean you aren't drifting through life The fact that you love a song Does not mean it makes you happy The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more
