I stood clueless
I didn’t know what to do as the music played
I felt stupid as the music played. I was embarrassed
I was alone but I felt eyes watching me
The pain drained me in ways I couldn’t explain
I closed my eyes and tried to hold the tears from coming
I wanted to express myself with my whole body not just my eyes
Was that too much to ask?
I wallowed in my pain and feeling of defeat
Suddenly, I felt someone take my right hand
He pulled me into his arms and whispered
I’m here now and I’d be here for you always
Just let me be the one you’d express yourself through
I didn’t know who spoke but he gave me so much assurance
I trusted him
His voice was subtle and convincing
I felt him direct me
He melted into me
He interpreted every rhythm and word
He controlled me
I let him do what he wanted
The way he wanted it
My body swayed and obeyed him
My body popped when it needed to
It moved sometimes like I had no bone in it
It moved swiftly sometimes
And slow at other times
I reached heights I had never reached
He took charge
I couldn’t hold back the smiles
I felt stronger and in control
Never thought I could express myself like this
Even when I was tired, I felt joy and satisfaction
He was the best thing that ever happened to me
The feeling was the most beautiful thing ever
I decided never to let go of it ever
To me dance is more than an act but a personality.
Love,
Einsteinette.
