You Cannot Move Me

"We're fools whether we dance or not,
so we might as well dance."
-Japanese Proverb

o~O~o

Make me stop smiling.
I dare you, for it is impossible.
Squash my dreams?
Inconceivable as they are to your small minds,
you are incapable.

I feel joy:
I dance, unashamed.

Experience sorrow:
I weep, unabashed.

Your small-mindedness will never move me.
I am unfazed by blind hatred.
