I dance alone a lot,
I mean, I am alone a lot.
So I dance myself to life.
I admire dancers who take the beat to heart,
Who set the stage alight.
So I tell myself,
I'll come alive tonight.
I dance myself to fire,
As I bleed my sweat to dust.
My soul breaking down,
As I let loose the limbs of my body,
Like I'm burning myself alive.
Mirrors catch mist,
As magic seeps in the room.
Swerving to motion
Like a boat afloat in the ocean.
The feel of the air as it circles me for affection, circles me for admiration.
I am the divinity that will blaze this room to ash..
Me.
The lonely dancer in the room,
The only dancer in my room.
The artist,
The unsteady performer whos moves have turned from colorless to a rainbow like sight.
The inanimate objects in the room
Applaud me for the performance 👏🏾
