Is this an assignment? If so, I'm sure your teacher doesn't want to know what I think it means. He or she wants to know what YOU think.
No it is not an assignment. I read this at the end of a book and I wanted to know what it means
And what's the point of thus website if you can't help me?
Okay. Sorry I am not here all the time to get back sooner. Think about what it means. Why would someone NOT dance - whether someone was looking or not? Why should someone love without fear? To harbor fear of being hurt might make you hold back and not love fully? Why would someone be afraid to sing, again, whether anyone was listening or not? And why would someone think life is bad and not enjoy the good things? In other words, don't hold back. Be free to express yourself, to love, to enjoy, to sing and dance and celebrate life. I think that's what it means. What do you think?
Keep in mind that singing, dancing, and loving are considered joyful things. Why would someone be afraid to do them? Why would someone be afraid to be joyful and express it. The little poem is advice to be joyful, no matter what somebody else thinks. Take a risk! Somebody may not like your singing, but who cares? If it makes you happy, go for it.
