I dance my life for myself I am whole I am complete I say what I mean and I mean what I say I dance the dark and the light the conscious and the unconscious the sane and the insane authentically with total conviction without regard for how I might look All the parts of myself flow into the whole all my divergent selves unite as one I listen to what needs to be heard I never make excuses I feel my feelings deeply and profoundly I never hide I live my sexuality to please myself and pleasure others I express it as it needs to be expressed from the core of myself from the wholeness of my dance I am female I am sexual I am power I was greatly feared
