A/N: Written right after the school Fall Off the Wall Ball. 'Cause it's awesome, and...'cause there's more to me than just angst. Shockingly enough.

And HOLY CRAP it's rated K. O.o

Move

Normally when I hear music I look

And watch

And listen

But I don’t do anything else because I’m stupid and I fear Their laughter

And my body wants to move but I hold still

And watch

And listen

-

Then a dance comes along and I know what I’m expected to do

Just like the rest of Us

And I look

And watch

And listen

And finally when I cant take it anymore I put my drink down

Get down off the table

Take off my jewelry

And run towards the music

-

And I close my eyes and pretend I’m not me

I pretend I’m not white

I pretend no one’s watching

(Cause They aren’t, They’re dancing with me, but They see me and I see Them

But

For once

I don’t care)

And the bass is in my belly

And the beat

In my bones

And I dance

And I dance

And I dance

-

And part of me is singing and part of me is laughing and part of me is just out there

With my eyes closed

And a big smile on my face

And my body moving where the music tells me

And They look

And They watch

And They listen

And They dance with me

And I’m free

For the first time in months

And I’m dancing

The way I want to when I hear music

The way I want to when I’m scared that They’ll laugh

-

But They’re not laughing, no

They’re dancing

And cheering me on

Just like the last two times

And part of me wonders

How many kinds of stupid do I have to be

To forget this every time I hear music

But hold myself back

-

And the bass is in my belly

And the beat is in my bones

And my arms and legs and hips and chest and head

Are moving the ways they want to

And

I
