The dance...

I dance without a smile ,
because my dreams are no longer worth while.
And if you gaze at me face to face
you wouldn’t understand why hatred
is in my hearts place.

For me to be touched by anyone is just too much,
But the only touch I long for is a comforting hug.
People believe the I have a deep mind,
But its only knowledge gained with time.
Some say there's a sparkle in my eyes,
But I will tell you that the sparkles are only
tears that I cannot hide.

And to those that I dare would speak to
As soon as I turn my back they always call me a freak.
And so in the dark of night,
I try and keep my nightmares out of sight.

I’m not really all that much of a mystery,
at least thats what people tell me..
And it always seems that they want to be free
of my company.

So I dance without a smile,
Because I never remain in ones mind,
not even for a while.
