Out, Above, and to the Left

The beat of my heart

Matches the rythmn of my feet

1-2-3

1-2-3

Pacing me

Mistakening me

For something

I'm not

The colors bleed away

Replaced by nothing but gray

Trying to make us all the same

Everyone's foot steps

Match mine

Pounding the beat

Into my head

My heart

Stay with the beat

Someone said

Stay with the beat

Or you might as well be dead

So I walk onward 

1-2-3

With my legs aching

Shaking

My heart breaking

With the incessant pounding

Hounding

The reverberations sounding

Hollow

One direction

All the time

Just one step out of line

And I'd be trampled

Becoming the dust 

On people's feet

But I wanted to take a seat

Do something different, new

But how?

I hadn't a clue

Then there was a shout

I looked out

Above

And to the left
And what I saw
Shattered all reason
Someone walking
Running
No dancing 
In the other direction
Changing the rythmn
Painting colors
And smiles
Creating a tune 
A song
To match the beat
I felt my body
Turn
Twist
And leap
Before I could think
When I saw others 
Emotionless 
Eyes
I grimaced
Waiting for the boots 
But they never came
People bent 
Curved
And flowed around me
They changed 
If just for a moment
The smiled
If just for a second 
So I continued 
Spinning
Twirling
Shouting
And
Smiling
