Dancing The Pain Away

During the last ten years Marusya has had lots of moments of joy; however, there've been many days filled with despair and hopelessness. Somewhere on that path, she found refuge in mindfulness. But what also helped her rediscover her lost sense of belonging was dancing. Fortunately, those days of inner anguish are long gone but going through some old photos recently brought back some painful memories. That’s when the poet felt inspired to write “Dancing the Pain Away”.

Transcript

Dancing the pain away I'm feeling again no sense of belonging,

Lost in a country where life seems frightening.

Scarcity and insecurities abide in my heart,

Though I'm trying to express them in any form of art.

Coloring books and knitting soft gloves brings me no peace,

Calmness or love.

I long to express my inner feelings creatively after having silenced the emotional pain deceptively.

My shoulders are often so tight and so stiff,

The pain is so bad I could jump off a cliff.

I'm losing my identity and female power,

My longing to fight is decreasing hour by hour.

Then a catchy radio ad draws my attention,

Claiming the cure for your muscle tension.

Through the healing power of music and dance,

I make up my mind to give my life a second chance.

When I step into the dancing studio that afternoon,

I don't even suspect how much I will change soon.

The space seems too big for my minute soul and the mirrors around reflect my shattered whole.

But when the loud rhythms fill the air,

I allow myself to tune into my musical flair.

The fast beats send me on cloud nine and shivers of joy run down my spine.

Suddenly a sense how my wings spread widely and the holes in my soul start to fill gradually.

Foremost and intimate emotions get awakened and the feeling of doom is slowly overtaken by the dormant yearning to fill every breathing minute with passion and joy which ignite my inner spirit.

I'm ready to conquer my deepest fears that have demented my heart for many years.

Finding my innermost light makes me strong and I finally find the place where I belong.
