Dancing Isn't All About Competing

I dance when i'm excited or when things turn bad
To seek solace, away from pretentious people
Pouring out every bitterness when lights turn dim and the tune seem sad
Feeling insecure towards a make believe world

I dance to preserve memories of thee
Not hungry for fame, glory or medals
Someday i shall dance for her to see
Away from intoxicated tongues ,keep running until

I dance to watch my momma smile
And for one moment , i forgot how cruel can life be
To watch momma proud just for that little while
Its the only topic that brings her close to me

I dance when i'm fed up, losing the will to live
Entrapped in a black hole of hypocritical lies
Invested so much of energy when we jive
Along with exchaustion, my misery dies

I rhumba to every soulful tune
No teachers, classmates or paid off spectators
No other beat apart from my heartbeat, music to my room
No competitions, no commentators , no unnecessary pressures

I dance to my existence
To note every step i took in time's passage
Dancing as i see isn't a commitment
Just another medium for me to transmit my message

I dance not to figure out how good am i
I do not require moves in search of identity
I just need an excuse as time flies by
To accomodate to my tormented soul for you're not here with me

I dance because i do love dancing
Never because you want me to
Though it is as addictive as drinking
Yet it really brings me out of the blue

Do not feel indebted or in anyway guilty
Participate, compete if recognition is what you seek
My fingers crossed , while singing to thy victory
Believe in oneself if one is to hit it big
