Hurry. Sparkle. Be anybody

You can squeeze a lemon
But not into a shoe
How long can you last?
Until the blisters start showing?
Do not jump into any hole
Except it makes you whole
How long before you’re the odd one out
Count all the stars if you have to
It will teach you how to wait
Like the moon waits for evening
To remember its name
Dance your dance
Make the moves you must
But when you get to that stage
Act as you are.
