They dance in circles,
and in circles of circles.
They smile at each other,
and laugh together.
But no, I won’t join
the dance of equals.
I won’t confuse my soul
in oceans of mirrors.
My pain is mine—
I won’t hide it.
I won’t take shelter
in your wax smiles.
I won’t melt in iced eyes.
My scream is loud;
it will drown out the music.
I’ll spoil the dance
and show you your eyes.
I’ll blind you with my hidden colors.
No, I won’t join the dance of equals.
