Why do I dance you ask?


I dance because sometimes
I have so many feelings trapped inside
When I can’t talk about them,
I move
My body telling the story
The pain, love, heartache, happiness, confusion,
I dance because it makes me feel beautiful
It helps me forget
Creating something beautiful with the body I was given
The one I’m trying to love
It helps me live
My soul searches for a way to be free
In a turn, a leap, a head tilt
It’s more than a movement
I’m opening my heart
Becoming one with the lyrics
Why do I dance you ask?
I want everyone to feel
The pain, love, heartache, happiness, confusion,
Emotions we’ve all felt, are feeling, will feel
Sometimes all you need is one song, one dance
And it makes sense

Enough

She's alive, breathing.
She doesn't know what storms are coming, but
She knows she's strong.
ENOUGH.
She's learning she is
enough.
Tries to love herself
each day.
And
She's getting better.
at treating herself
like she would a friend.
At accepting her flaws
her mistakes
her past
Bandaging her self inflicted wounds
Super gluing her heart back together
Standing up and shaking the dust off
Moving,  onward upward
We're all broken, and she's no
different.
And like you,
She's alive and breathing.
