"Forgive me."

For I do not dance in spirals with elegance and grace.

It's quite insulting to see me do so.

But if you ask me why I do it,

I'll say "It is because I love it."

And I'll whisper "because I do it for you."

So forgive me.

For I do not swing my arms and move my feet in tandem,

and I flap around like a broken winged bird waiting to fly.

Because I believe that you will one day beckon the winds to lift me up.

I have faith for I dance with persistence and resilience, if not grace and elegance.

I lack one thing, but make up for it with another, so please let that be plenty, let that be enough.

I pause...

I take a step forward...

"Forgive me.

For I am not like the graceful."

Love me.

For I am desperate.
