"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.

Ah, so great!
Thank you for this! The verse is free-moving and the feelings are, too: it reminds me to let my own emotions flow.
This is inspiring :)
