I danced at 3:00am!

My sadness, exorcised
    from my body — midnight 
 micro poetry “A Broken Girl”
    no longer resides in my core 
  
My arms extend, I prepare 
   for fifth position before 
  I allow myself to release 
   the most beautifully executed 
       pirouette, although indoors
  the icy air moved around me 
    my mind silenced 
         the negative voices 

  inhale 
      exhale 

   My chest rises and drops 
      accelerated breath 
 heightened racing heartbeat
     open thought pathways 
 no more thought corpses 
   to crash and diminish me 

    History can never be rewritten 
it can only offer a solid perspective     
      of lived choices, a lifetime 
   of pro & cons lists, negativity 
 to fill the greatest crevasse 
       with an opportunity 
   an attempt to fill it with MIRTH 
       a nice warm glow 

   An energy that comes deep 
      within my body, I refuse
 to be an accessory to the crime 
     of self annihilation 

No longer will I be in Tartarus 
   at the mercy of Cerberus 
         and Hades 

 The only place I’ll be 
     is within my mind 

It’s incredible 
     the power that exists 
  inside one’s being
