Dancing in the rain
I wanted to be an actress
Until I lost my voice.
I dreamed of my own café
Until liquor became a choice.
My heart made a destination
Yet my mind took a new route.
My soul held the deepest inspiration,
Then my body brutally cut it out.
I dreamed of finishing school
Of discovering brilliant organisms.
Instead, I shut my thoughts up
With the study of numbing medications.
I spent my whole youth letting failure win.
Now I know I have a fighting chance...
Step aside and let dreams back in,
This girl has learned to dance.
