Poetry, Dance, or Song

I want passion to be the idea harbored in those who merely believe in it.

I want to remove the stigma from it.

Dismantle the disappointment in the individual’s insecurity.

Showing them the light to freedom

Can be found only in the pursuit of their own poetry, dance, or song.

None meant literally, unless, of course, it’s describing a passion by which you, my reader, see as the light of freedom.

I ask you to drop the insecurity that once held you so firmly.

I ask that you too become poetry, dance, or song.
