When I Dance

When I Dance

A Poem by Aehr

Whenever I dance
I try to look cool
But when I get my chance
I end up a fool

They laugh at my footwork
My expressions, they suck
And the only encouraging words are
Hey, tough luck

I can't smile when I dance
Baffled, I start again
The steps, they confuse me
And attack my brain

But I can dance well you know,
If they ask me to
Provided, I do my own steps
And if I'm dancing with my crew

If the music is awesome
And the atmosphere is fine
I won't even mind dancing
From six to nine

But the steps they're teaching now
They're hard, and I look clumsy
When I do them before the mirror
I laugh at myself for looking funny

At school, I'm a coward 
And I dance because I have to
But if you ask me to dance on my own
I won't mind showing some moves to you

O....K...A...Y...

We're practicing for our annual day in school, and in our group, I'm dancing in the first line. I dance okay, but when it comes to the steps the instructors are teaching us, well, I get a bit messed up. I have no idea what to do. So again, I had to write my feelings down!
:P
