Dance Naked

Dance Naked

A Poem by SjoMC
"

I was a very good kid, I regret that some.

"

I want to dance naked unholy and wild

I want to free my burdened child

So much I did not do 

So much i left forbidden

Now what is it? Only a earning hidden

Was is evil then or only humanies taboo

languish that I was a good child

so good so responsible so well spoken 

every  lie you wanted to hear i said them all

such trouble such struggle to make them true as a child can

But I lied in the best of ways 

the ways that make parents teachers and preachers swoon

Of course I never wanted to be bad, of course I never wanted to neglect

my responsibility 

of course I knew what was expected and Of course I never wanted to faultier

halter tac and torn my will was shorn as soon as i was born

if only i knew that when i was older there would be no room for wistfulness

if only i knew how much i'd have to know and hold together maybe i'd have waited longer to take on a heavy load. 

And now in the waining of my youthful youth I cry to the heaven and stars, Oh no I can't grow up now I barley was a child as a child

Unreputable i'll have to be. Maturity, and being dignified i've applied and and tried and carefully tended and well the fruit was sour. 

Who cares about them?

Society I suppose but she was always mean to me and mine so she can go eat crackers in a corner.
