The Dancer

By Joseph Christopher Liguori and Robert James Liguori

Don't talk to me,
Just let me be.

I want to be a dancer,
not a necromancer.

You gave me no choice,
why do I have to hear your voice?

Let my legs, hips and arms move,
to music, not your rambling groove.

In life you tried to quash my dream,
I had no option but to push you in that stream.

Please release me from this trance,
so I can finally dance, dance, dance.
