Destined to walk in a city
That does not care or love.
My hope drains as I go
But, eventually……
With an uncontrollable urge to laugh
I can’t help but dance.
Look around: they’re just friendly faces
The feeling of romance.
Working endless hours is no way
No pay, no praise, no life.
Needing what I can’t afford
Goals are for another day.
You don’t have to know why
Simply let it move you.
The energy is powerful
Rising up from the groove.
With an uncontrollable urge to laugh
I just can’t help but dance.
Look around they’re just friendly faces
The feeling of romance.
You don’t have to know why
Simply feel how it moves you.
The energy becomes powerful
Rising up within the groove.
Destined to walk in a city
That does not care or love.
My hope drains as I go
But, eventually……
With an uncontrollable urge to laugh
I can’t help but dance.
Look around: they’re just friendly faces
The feeling of romance.
I love how you’ve juxtaposed feelings of hopelessness with hope and joy. A really nice poem.
