dance in the dark.

dance in the dark - au/ra

i close my eyes

and let this darkness consume me;

i’ve always been afraid

of what lies beyond,

what can come in the dark.

so here i am.

i look out over the lit city beneath my feet

then up at the stars,

and smile.

i begin to dance,

my body trembling

slightly because of my anxiety.

i’ve never done this before.

dance in the dark,

i’m dancing with my fears in the dark.

music plays from my headphones

and i swirl,

and let myself absorb into

the soft lyrics of the song.

the fear once killed me,

locked me up.

but everybody's scared

so dance in the dark.

the fear of darkness

is still there,

still shaking my heart,

but i am trying.

and that is all that matters.

party with your fears,

dance in the dark.
