The girl who loved to dance

For her it was a quiet act of rebellion To the world it was just a girl dancing The smile on her face magnetic The way she swung her hips mesmerising Her rhythm hypnotising She was proud of herself for letting go Of choosing her freedom Instead of being trapped in a room full of her own demons Instead of wallowing in her sadness She danced in joy Celebrating a part of herself She had hidden She celebrated her blackness She was the epitome of beauty Not just her looks but her beauty within To anyone who'd ever be so lucky To witness her glory Would be enchanted by her smile The type that reaches her eyes They way the sun danced on her skin Sprinkling a glow so golden Like a sunflower In the garden This intimate act of self care Was a moment so special It will forever be embedded In her head The day she decided This joy She would never forget And as she danced away She promised to not let regret Keep her hostage in the past But to soak up every moment if happiness And to live in the present
