Dancing With The Blues : Modern Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


When I'm paying my debts and counting the cost ,

 When I'm being left out and looking so lost ,

When I'm hurting deep down where blood starts to ooze  ,

That's when I go dancing with the blues .

 When I'm  begging for mercy and nothing changed ,

When time after time people tell me I'm strange ,

When I'm shaking in fear with nothing to loose

That's when I go dancing with the blues .            

 When I'm misunderstood and no one cares less ,

When nothing goes right and its all a big mess ,

When all that I get is the same old bad news ,

That's when I go dancing with the blues .

 When I'm dancing with the blues I feel all right .

I'm breaking the chains that keep me bound up tight .

When I'm dancing with the blues I'll jump and shout  .

I'll dancing until the blues have worn themselves out .

By Paul McCann
