Short stories & poems for everyone from everyone
I like to
Stand
When I read
I feel
I can be
More
Expressive
I failed acting
Class
Who fails acting
In
church?
Still
I do not like
To be
Behind a podium
Too
Restrictive
I like to move
Around
Wave my arms
Like a bird
Birds don’t have
Wings
I mean
humans…
To Dance
No one ever
Called
Me a dancer
Before.
