A creative person has to create. It doesn't really matter what you create. If such a dancer wanted to go out and build the cactus gardens where he could, in Mexico, let him do that, but something that is creative has to go on. --Katherine Dunham

Turn to me and be gracious
For my heart is in distress.
Turn to me and be gentle
For my heart is in denial.
Oh God! My God!
Why hast thou done me so?
Oh God! My God!
Why hast thou done this to me?

Turn to me with a smile
For the frowns cut way too deep.
Turn to me a loud song
For the silence kills me slowly.
Oh God! My God!
Why hast thou done me so?
Oh God! My God!
Why hast thou made me this way?

Turn to me with a new mind
For I’m done with what I have.

This piece is inspired by a song called Remembrance. I'm not trying to claim this as my own, it was just inspired by.
