meeting complete strangers
going to a bar with them
hearing the jazz through my ears
i dance to the rhythm
as i sit away for a moment
take it all in, try to be present
i realise that i'm living
as my heart beats at 200, panting
do you remember saying
how you didn't know how to be alive?
well this is sweetie
this is what it feels like to thrive
it's no big deal
not a big thing
just having fun
and felling free
everything around me was absent
and yet so much there
People bumping into me, passing by
the back of the person next to me as we dance
the hand of my sister, a smile on her lips
and i feel like i am here
