dance

my body is used
abused 
bruised like fruit
but still, i dance 

blood between my thighs
pomegranate juice
not a good enough excuse 
but still, i dance

my brain has different wiring
people tend to think me tiring
every night time has me spiralling
can i have one more chance?

i've forgotten how to trust
my bones ache with dirt and rust
the universe may combust
but still, i dance.
