this didn't end up where it started

there's a WAY my past
FALLS AWAY 
from me 
I know I've mentioned before, but it's a recurring 

there's a WAY 
I feel connected and a WAY

NOT 

& I WONDER

is the answer to LOOK 

MAYBE 

& THEN
I wonder LIKE which is 
EGO

in the END, do I got enough, too much, none

WHAT
does that MEAN 
WHY
can't I ANSWER that question 

is it that I can't see myself clearly enough 

BLIND SPOTS 

I've been thinking lately 
when I wanted to
QUIT dance

because I had caught on

I wasn't good enough 
my body shape was wrong 

he didn't have anything to do with it 
my mom was happy to stop
paying for lessons 

BUT 
he called me
& he SAID 

do don't have to quit things
because you can't do them professionally 
you can just do things

because you love to do them

I don't think I completely disagreed
in theory

BUT 
it made NO sense 
with regard to DANCE

HOW much of THAT 
had to DO
with the
MYSTIQUE of DANCE

it had an internal structure 
& THAT was as much
PART of the fantasy
of being a dancer

it wasn't ABOUT 
DANCING in the park, ya KNOW 

MAYBE 

I'm not sure what he was trying to warn me AGAINST 

WHAT PART
of these things I have wanted
MIGHT tell me

something 

I enjoyed interacting with the physical world
in the WAY that they talk about it
FEELING like you're being 
PULLED straight up

by a STRING
that runs through your spine
OUT the TOP of 
your HEAD 

& you are supposed to be EMOTING
TELLING a STORY 
with your body

I guess 
THAT would have continued
I could have kept THAT 

BUT 
I guess this is WHY 
I KEEP coming 
back to TAI CHI or some sort of ENERGY system
