Oh, how I want to be a dancer

When I was younger, what was my answer

No

But even with such a big blow

That couldn’t stop me

 

Oh, how I want to be a dancer

And to me, that was my answer

I danced in the bright of the moonlight

And I will show all those who bite

Because you can’t stop me

 

Oh, how I want to be a dancer

And this is no banter

I practiced with every second I could

And to my delight I did good

 

Oh, how I want to be a dancer

And I took my chance here

To stand on this stage

Despite my age

I was free

 

Oh, how I want to be a dancer

Because I’m like a prancer

So, as I dance

 here I am

 

The floor goes creak as I move along the floorboards

The feet go boom as it shakes the whole room

The hands go clap as I express my freedom

I can hear slight giggles in the distance

But I am not done

I continue with my routine

As I dance the sound of the wind hissing could be heard

 

When I was done there was nothing but silence

I’ve left the audience mesmerized

 

Oh, how I want to be a dancer

When I was younger, what was my answer

No

But even with such a big blow

That couldn’t stop me

Shierra wasn’t always interested in writing, however, over time she realized that writing isn’t solely pleasant words on a paper, but possesses more intended meaning to it. Her poems express how passionate she is about the things she loves and gives you her unique perspective of it. Shierra will undoubtedly continue exploring writing to the best of her abilities to present to her audience what she loves. She wants to show others that you just have to find the right rhythm of writing that speaks to you, and maybe, you might like writing too.
