You can watch them dance

You can watch them dance.
You can wait for the pain to leave before you join.
You can sit on the sidelines till it’s your turn.
You can hold off until the burden is lifted.
Or, you can dance.
You can let the pain wait for you.
You can realize that sitting is a choice.
You can intertwine your burden with just a bit of joy.
You’re allowed to dance.
