Dancing to the beat

                                     dancing to the beat,

                                    the drums only she can hear,

                                   taking the heat

                                   for being different,

                                   from those who are near

                                   and claim they are dear.

                                  yet they would stop her music,

                                 say that her head was sick,for

                                 she wouldn't conform,and adher to their ways.

                                They locked her up,threw away the key.

                                yet she danced ,dreamily,for the rest of her days.

                                for the drums went where she went

                                "Twas the others who were bent

                                and understood not,that she was heaven sent.
