Dance and be safe

I am going back to 

Dance 

Class.

It's 

Private.

I like it

Like that.

I do not 

Like people

To see me

Dance

It's personal.

It's mine.

As I go 

To a private 

Room.

Professional

Dancers

Walk

By

Me with

Flat 

Stomachs and

Tight

Muscles.

I put my 

Head down.

This

Does

Not concern

Me.

I am going

To church.

This

Is

Where

I find

God.

As I

Go 

Into

The room 

All that is 

There is

Mirrors and

Wood

Floor

And me.

I start the music

Florence

And the machine

Over the love.

I spin,

And

I am found.

Everything feels

Right.

You are forced

To look

At yourself

When

You

Dance.

Look

At your past

Your life.

I dance and

I open

My heart

My soul 

For anyone who 

Will 

Look

And see.

This

Is me.

God

Made

Me fierce 

Strong and

I have the

Heart of 4.

I stop 

As I notice

Someone 

In the room.

A dancer

Stands and

Says, sorry 

I thought 

The room was empty.

I do not

Reply.

I just finish 

Dancing

Spinning

And opening

My soul.

When I stop

He is standing 

There.

I gather my stuff.

As I walk

By

He says,

You are safe

Now.

As I turn 

To look

At him.

He is gone.

That day,

That moment,

I met God.

I have danced

For him

All my life,

In small rooms

Hallways,

Parks

Backyards

All just 

To feel safe.

I danced

For God

And

He gave me

Safety.
