Not Sick but Creative

By Dakoda Saggau

By Dakoda SaggauPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Creativity is beautiful

Filled with human achievement

And life

Dedication

Talent

And affection

The people live in their heads

Coming up with multitudes of ideas

Bringing what they love to life

Drawings

Paintings

Music

Dance

Etc

She’s a dancer

Giving pleasure to millions

Captivating them in a story

Giving hope

Using this gift wisely

Frightened

Curious

Admirining

Fragile

Open and raw

Taking her education

Her system

Her humanity

Her dynamic

And mathematics of her steps

And taking a chance

She thinks to herself

I must try harder

I’m the future

If I mess up

The door is shut

She thinks

Give me a break

I am only human

The human brain can only do so much

She looks in the mirror and says

My nerves are shot

People weren’t aware that it could happen

I practice everyday for hours to get it right

I move around a lot

They think it is a sickness

They say

Put her on medication

Tell her to calm down

It’s just my inner dancer

Itching to come out

Itching to connect to the music

Thoughts keep running

Running through my head

Thoughts of new steps

New ideas

New music

I’m not sick I’m creative

It’s just who I am

I tell a story in my own creative way

Thank you every much

Don’t take my jitteriness as me being sick

Take it as me coming up with ideas

Being creative

Being me
