He will not understand the way I feel

every time I get to dance

is the opposite of it all

that when I tell my body to move

it can

when I tell my body to feel

it can

when I tell my body to stretch

it can

when I tell my body to try

it can

and every time

I go a little further

and every time

I learn my body is mine

and every time

I learn my body’s wishes

are my command
