A Self Poet-Trait

I see me dancing in the moonlight Naked and exposed My skin shines like alabaster My eyes flecked with sparks of gold I give worship to the one-ness From an alter most would curse For to some I am a heathen While to others I am worse But they refuse to lift the shutters That brings the blindness to their eyes My goal remains the same as theirs I've just thrown away disguise To see Can I survive A witch's burning

oohh. scary ending. i like how you portrayed how some people see dancing as the devils playground. those witch burnings were so crazy. great use of this in your poem to say how people don't get you and make you try to conform and inhibit your spirit's freedom.
