Smile.
Dance until your heart stops beating.
Make everything bigger,
better.
Push through dehydration and muscle spasms.
Just keep dancing.
Smile.
Thrill each and every customer.
Don't screw up.
Clean the digusting bathroom.
Sweep the floors
until the dust suffocates you.
Smile.
Never let him see you break.
Stand up taller
like the better person you know you are
without him.
Move on before he has the chance.
Smile.
Don't let teachers get involved.
Slip up and your history
One call home is all it takes
to turn worlds upside-down.
They won't be hard to fool anyway.
I smile
When the music reaches a volume not even a dance teacher can yell above.
When customers angry faces slowly fade among the notes.
When all he can do is stare.
When teachers forget to notice past pretty words.
When im free from commands
Music so loud
You cant help but Dance anyway.

Joyful
Music so loud
That you can't hear a sound
Everyone's watching
My heart won't stop racing
Can't help from dancing
I'm the type of girl...that turns up the music way loud, just to tune out reality!
Maybe this will help-?
