The Confident Twelve Year Old

Dancing in an uninhibited way, Glorying in her self-truth She had no idea she was intimidating Almost every girl her age, Not caring a whit about the opinions Of ones who are not magically in touch With themselves. Two teenagers attempted to bully her. To taunt her, to make fun. They were not well received. Two of her good friends began to dance With her. Pretty soon the whole dance floor was Full of uninhibited dancer. She had unintentionally become a leader. Unaware, she gave them happy smiles. Her friends were dragging others onto the dance floor. Pretty soon all of the girls except two were dancing. The boys watched from the shadows. Amazed. They had never realized what fun a dance could be. None of them went out there. Most were twelve and thirteen, Not actualized yet.
