I hope you're doing well this new year, and welcome back. It's been a minute since I've posted a poem. I wrote this poem while listening to the song "Whirl" from Soft Kill. If you would like to support me and my writing, become a patron of my Patreon. You can also buy my poetry book, "Living Day by Day: A Collection of Poems" as that also helps support me.
Standing there in the middle of the dancefloor
Paralyzed
Not knowing how to move.
Close your eyes, feel the beat,
Thumping through your feet
Right to your core.
There you go
Making your way through the song,
Dancing, getting lost along the way.
You didn't feel like you fit on the floor,
It's okay
Stay away from the door.
Give yourself a chance,
Let the song lead the way.
Getting lost to the beat,
On the dancefloor.
The beat pulsing through your feet
Here you're in the moment,
Feeling it in your core.
Getting lost along the way,
Unable to run away.
Paralyzed
Here's the chorus, sing along
Even if your words are lost.
It's alright, no one can hear you,
Sing loudly
Getting lost to the words.
Pulsing through your core
Go along,
You can sing the song all the way.
From the song, the dancefloor holds onto you.
The door's too far away,
Don't slow down.
Can't you feel the floor pulsating?
Your heart's in tune.
Down to the soul,
Away from the door,
Getting lost along the way.
Don't let yourself escape.
Stay,
You're not paralyzed.
