Dancing the Dance

I've danced your dance
Over broken glass and pins and needles
Weaving between the jagged barriers you put up
On broken legs and fueled by hope for compassion
They scanned me, and stabbed me
They took life, and gave me pills
And still I dance

I cannot walk
And still I dance

It's hard to think,
And still I dance

The heat and cold bite
And still I dance

I itch, and hurt, and cry
And still I dance

As long as I have breath
I will dance

As long as my heart beats
I will dance
