I command you to get up and smile
to straighten your shoulders and continue
to be the same as always
to excell
I tell you to continue as if nothing happened
that you have all it takes to dance
with a broken back
by being a fantastic person
but you look back from the mirror and shiver with rage
or sometimes
most of the times
you would look back pretending that all was fine
then there are the days when you look devastated
scrutinizing the broken tissue along the ruptures of your muscles
trying to make sense of the impulse to dance and then
realizing the steps don't come floating
you cannot hold your postures and can't take the attitude you want
for long
but I command you to get up
learn to fly another way
you tell me that you lost something
you only realized it was gone and how good it felt to have it
you say how could I forget it was here
How could I forget I had this thing
a real love thing with energy
And look at me now
I'm like a muted amnesic bird
I promise we'll find it again and bring it back
I promise
