Dance

When father said I wasn’t good enough to dance,
I could only wish for a sliver of a chance,
To float free and fluid across the stage,
The music a key, my body locked cage.

I see this theme often in your work Sarah. This is sad and even though I am no dancer, I know how it feels to be told you are not good enough at something
