Analysis of Dance



I whisper as they get closer
Heart thumping louder than ever
Wishing well don’t matter
Playing dead is much better

Thought’s come together
Reaction is a dancer
Improv is a matter
Survival is the answer

Fear we comprehend
Composure we must attain
Looking back it was insane
Let’s dance and make it go away
