Guest Post: Aliyha's I Am From Poem

I am From Dance

I am from Dance

I express myself with body language 

I can be dramatic smooth like jazz. 

I am from the perfect song

          Little me needed music

 helping me through the hard times. 

I am from the choreography

I keep changing 

no plan just keep going

I am from the stage

center of attention 

only when people need me.

I am from Hip Hop

 popping all the bubbles that block my visions.

 Locking bad memories in a box

back of my mind.

 Dropping unnecessary problems.

 I am from Clogging

 stepping on the people who pushed me down.

I am from Tap

tip-tapping on the tables

I'm bored.

I am from Balle's

grandma dying at 45.

 The diseases my dad has

 I might have in the future.

 Leaping far away from my mother

we aren't that close

she doesn't want to see me

 I am from Irish

my heritage

 my great-grandpa Moore full Irish. 

I am from Salsa

 lots of passion.

 I am from line dancing

 I have all my ducks in a row

 the same as the do si do.

 I am from Swing Dancing

 going back and forth from my parents' houses

Only at five.

Yelling back and forth

who really needed the kids?

 I am from Rain Dance

 a little bit of Cherokee in me

The native dance.

I am from Dance

 I move to my own rhythm.
