It’s addiction
It’s necessity
It’s the reason I won’t give up.
Everything makes sense
On stage
Or inside a circle.
I live in a state of “when”
Not “if”
When I make it
When I’m independent
There is no room for failure
I won’t allow it
Won’t have it.
I’ll keep going until I’m on top
My future is non-stop.
It’s the only thing I’m driven to
It makes me see through
The anxiety
The frustration
The lack of clarity.
It’s all that makes sense.
I spent my life dreaming
Now it’s time to start doing.
No more listening to my blood
They convince me I can’t
But all I know is the urge inside
This thirst I can't ignore
To go for it
To take a chance
To create.
To tell stories with my words
My body
And my heart.
It’s addiction
It’s necessity
It’s what I’m working for.
I was inspired to write this after filming an impromptu hoop dance sequence for my Instagram. It made me remember why I love dance and performing in general and I just had to put it into words because I'm in a place in my life where I can no longer ignore my passions or the fact that performing and writing are the only things I have any drive to do.
