Stomping through my pain
Thrashing my head to rid my thoughts of its brutality
I throw my hands in the air not as a sign of defeat or surrender
But as an embrace

Embracing the nothingness, Receiving the rhythm from my feet
I welcome the adrenaline pulsing within my blood
Then my body takes over

Over the silence my heartbeat soars to new heights
Its loud thuds overrides the loud drums of my song
My eardrums are assaulted by the pressure of my rushing blood

My chest tightens with every breath I take
My lungs burn
A metallic taste fills my dry mouth
My throat closes up

My whole body is on fire
sweat runs down my back
My muscles are weakening
my joints are hurting
my eyes are shut

My head is light ,
I'm seeing red and black,
I cant squeeze another breath into my lungs
My limbs are going limp
It has gone silent
my head hits the dirty concrete floor

Through it all I dance
My soul is sown into my flesh
My spirit fights to escape my demons
The rhythm beneath my sole is my only anchor
So I dance
