Dancing in the Dark
February 24, 2022
This place
Usually full of life,
Filled with dancing women,
Bright with togetherness.
Now dark,
Cold and Waiting.
My feet feel the glossy
wooden floor beneath them
As I walk to the center of the gym
The loud and also quiet music buzzes.
It's my favorite song.
Silence.
Bliss.
I start moving,
body expressing itself from the inside out.
My arms outstretch,
Reaching,
I roll to the ground.
The hard floor bites at my already bruised knee.
It's a good feeling.
A pain that comes from hard work.
My heart is full,
This is where I belong.
