Mantra

“Inside each one of us are powers so strong, treasures so rich, possibilities so endless, that to command them all into action would change the history of the world.”

I keep repeating that to myself. I need to believe that. I’m deathly scared of opening myself up to failure. But then, I’d never know if I were good enough to dance unless I go out there and audition. I suppose if it were any other audition, I’d not be spending so much time worrying about it. But it’s something I’ve always wanted to go back to and the thought of failing scares me to death.

But like I said, I’ll go anyway. The worst thing that can happen to me is be unable to do all those bone-breaking floor exercises (I have always hated having to go through that). But I’ll live nonetheless.

You are the one who makes me happy
When everything else turns to grey
Yours is the voice that wakes me mornings
And sends me out into the day
You are the crowd that sits quiet
Listening to me
And all the mad sense that I make

You are one of the few things
worth remembering
And since it's all true
How could anyone mean more to me
Than you

Sorry if sometimes I look past you
There's no one beyond your eyes
Inside my head wheels are turning
Hey, sometimes I'm not so wise
You are my heart and my soul
My inspiration
Just like the old love song goes

You are one of the few things
worth remembering
And since it's all true
How could anyone mean more to me
Than you

And I keep singing that. Damn sentimentality.
