this isnt a poem... i wrote it today on the way to my dance competition (i do irish dance) today and decided i really liked how it turned out, but its a bit to fluffy for my blog blog. its kind of like a promise to myself, and i guess it helped cuz i got 2 firsts and a second, yaaay.

Today, for once, this is about me. Today I am not Sister, Daughter, Friend, I am simply a dancer. When I walk through the doors I'll leave my problems in a heap outside the door and float with dizzy freedom until its time to leave again and hoist the sadness and pain back on my shoulders. Today I will wear a mask of sparkles and color that I can hide behind with no fear of failure because all of the sudden I am the only one dancing. My feet will fly with practiced grace and my mind will race with the music but my heart, for once, will be strangely still because finally I am free. I will leap higher, dance harder, smile bigger than the others and snatch the medals from their groping hands because today, this is about me. And today, I will win.

annnnnd last of all i found this poem the other day and put some chords to it... heres what i got, tell me what you think

come close, close enough to touch
stay away you love is just to much
far away is where i want to be
on my own i've lost the will to breathe

feelings come then go before the dawn
my jumbled dreams are going going gone
close my eyes and you are who i see
all alone your love is killing me

now you're here you swear you've come to stay
this i've heard but i don't think you'll change
words will fade and we will carry on
until our lives are wrinkled, tattered, gone

the end. if it was in song version the middle stanza is the chorus... i really should just video these but im too shy :3
