Dancing

My heart drowns out

The throbbing music

I can feel eyes staring

Wondering what the hell I’m thinking

For even stepping out

On the dance floor

What am I thinking

I’m just making a fool of myself

And just as I’m about to turn around

Friends grab my hands

And pull me further in

They begin to move

In rhythm with the beat

The strobe lights flash

Giving everyone a stuttered appearance

And as I watch

I slowly begin to nod my head

And move my hips

Mimicking those around me

And soon everyone else

Fades into the background

As the music thumps

Through my body

My heart

My soul

And I’m free

I am free

I really miss this feeling, this past summer was magic, I felt alive and free. I hope I can recapture it again. But right now I'm too self-conscious.... (secret, I really do love dancing, even though I'm not good at it)
