Dance
by Alyssa Francisco

That one day. That one night.
I was who I know I am inside.
That one place. That one time.
Every thing that held me back let me go.
I was not the girl who couldn’t walk, dance, or run.
That one song. That one dance
Took me to a place I rarely go.
That one person. That one friend
Held me and let me dance.
That one moment. That one memory
I never wanted to end. The one I will never forget.
The one time I was free.

Hey Lysie! Girl you write so well and you should never stop writing. You’re such a bright girl and you are such a sweetheart. Just take life one day at a time and don’t live to fast. Never give up your dreams honey and don’t let anyone tell you that you shouldn’t do what you want in your future. I know the future holds a bright light for you and whatever you choose to do. Love always your bff Jen.
