Why We Dance (For the Brown Kids, Weird Kids, Lost Ones, and the Ones In/Between)

2/25/2017

We dance to shake dem woes
that be terrorizing we sleep. 
Lord dem woes become louder than 
da blood beat of our people.

We dance cause we scared. 
Scared that the boogie white knight
gon come get us in da dark. 
Even though we see them, 
and they know it. 

We dance cause we mourn. 
Our kinfolx dead or lost.
But we gotta shake off we tears
before they see. 

We dance cause we still alive-
ever searching for one more thing to
our belief to. 

We dance to live for yet another moment
​while we still can.

    Sometimes writing gets the better of me, but it's often showed the rougher pieces.
