change

if I could only change it's been this way for who knows, hey it could be anything i could have been like you with your wild nights and your hot jock walk or i coulda been him totally talented and assured i could have been anything i could have been happily ignorant, but i'm not i'm not you or him or her over there i'm someone different i'll gladly live with it

dance

dance! into darkness into light with a disco rock the funk pop and lock plie and pointe just let it go dance to be free and do it without worry if salsa means life shake those hips tonight

if I cannot smile know only that I need to if I am kind to you know it is because I love you if I love you know it is because I know you and if I know you know that I see you you're faults and strengths and I accept you even if you won't speak a thing of yourself

i think it's done and then the shiver crawls down my back i can't escape my heart won't let me my mind is reeling i think i'm fading

you walked closer my arms they freeze then quickly I scramble scribble- I've gotta get the words onto paper before you see my heart races my hands tremble my nerves scattered you approach my side

I sigh, relief soft rays luminescent grace my face I'm okay

I breathe in relief the oxygen's returned the night has cleared I have control I feel whole

why so intense? these waves of pain of fright-fear! they steal my air my chest heaves tremors rack my knees and my feet dangle free I feel close to gone I fear I'm falling down

I need support I can't rely not on you well, not with him he'll tear me down he'll turn me out don't let him laugh please, don't laugh yourself

I was steady if not treading you had to leave I started drowning falling into black come back soon bring me light hope is my only lifeline
