Let’s dance


Darkness is on the dance flow 

Depression in the corner looking at me 

I know he wants to dance

I reek of anxiety 

I’m undecided 

Always on the fence 

I’m down on my hands and knees 

I took up the striving game 

Ur choices make a difference they say

So why am I stagnant 

I feel trapped by the thick walls I put up

To protect myself from the unspoken 

Their words hurt more than they think

They dig deep 

Leaving a permanent scar

Unknowingly they build up my insecurities 

Or maybe they had always been there
