LETTER / by ZELJKO BOZIC

I wrote this while ago. Though it's personal many people felt the same after reading it. This year I found the way how to turn this into moves ... and here it is. The "battle" is not won, but I feel few steps forward have been made.

Lyrics:
Dear You,
I’m concerned so …
So I’m writing this letter
Because I’m better with words.
It hurts to see you so confused and stressed,
Especially because you say that you do
What you like best.
Dancing.
Dancing is supposed to be fun and joyful … right?
But joy and fun were pushed aside
Something else is on your mind.
It’s in your head it’s frustrating and it’s bad
When your whole being is reduced to this one question …
… Will they like you?
Scared child occupied your body and mind.
And scared child wants to stay alive
No wonder so many kids try to kill it and slay it.
And they talk about dance.
Such strange expressions
Dancers instead of dancers look like assassins.
Possessing invisible guns
Acting like thugs.
Click click click a million hits by kids
All thirsty for more
Blood on the dance floor.
Kids are skipping originality,
It's such a pity they look so alike.
They just look like fancy, smart,
They dress the part, they act the part.
But do they dance the part?
Or do they fall apart?
No foundation, no solid ground,
How do you expect to dance like your favorite You Tube star?
Here’s a question.
Do you dance to be admired by other dancers?
Do you dance for comments like OMG WOOOW?
Or …
You do it with some swag and flow for that amazing inner feeling when you let yourself go?
And just how low can you go,
If u think you’ll only glow if you get picked for a select group.
Or you’ve reached 100 likes on Facebook …
… woopidy woop.
So what is the answer to will they like you?
Will they like you?
They …
Who are they?
Skilled critiques behind the screen,
Controlling your self esteem?
When are you going to realize, that you are full of potential,
one of a kind, special, unique …
That your message is relevant and strong like your physique
With your body you speak.
Body … four limbs
But thousand stories you can tell with it.
At the end …
I hope you understand, this is just what I think.
That’s my stance.
And I haven’t written it for you ... It’s …
... for me.
Just to remind myself
Why I dance.

wow, kako močno sporočilo v svetu, kjer mislimo, da drugi določajo našo vrednost. Poklon.

I love how this "latter" has a million meanings.. A lot of people can find themselves here even if they don't dance cuz it's really inspirational. the part " will they like me " and the explanation after about it is masterpiece, you can relate a lot of personal stuff like how you should react to comments you get about your self.. Just switch dance, with life... It's so well multiply done that it's world quality, i hope you realize what you have done here man. Great, great, great job !

[@galittuvya492]

This is amazingly authentic and beautiful. Very inspiring too, how words, voice, movements, video, become a pulsing lively expression and art. I'm sharing it with all my friends!! Thank you for creating this. + I've watched more of your vids, please keep creating and sharing!

Thank you. ❤ for sharing from the USA

[@zeljkokazina]

Thank you for the comment:)

[@NadiahNfuZion]

I know you did not do this for the comments, likes or views Zeljko but I must say that it should've been viewed a million times more than what it's at! Just WOW! The 5 people who have disliked this probably don't speak english so they could only see the movements because I can't think of any possible reason why this is "not good"...this is EVERYTHING! A friend linked me to this because I just wrote a status update on my facebook talking about some key things that resonate with what you are saying...this is what art should be about - creative and inspiring...Respect! THANK YOU!

[@jayjaychuchu]

I'm in awe. That was phenomenal!!!

[@ivancestovni7966]

Todag I took a photo with you at The Next Step. I was so happy about it but on the other side I was sad that you couldn't dance in real life. My friend asked me what does it means and I explained to her everything. It explains to me everything as well. Thanks!
