Your Voice
| Dancing in the Darkness
Dancing in the darkness… slowly moving, creeping silently toward the light leaving the shadows of shame behind. Remembering no more the pain of you --invading my space, defiling my innocence, crushing my spirit. The flashbacks still haunt me… I am sickened by the smell of your sweat as the child inside me dies. Stronger now, I lift up my head rising above the fear, knowing I am worthy of like and love. Like a caged bird set free, I fly. soaring toward the light, the hope, the promise of survivorship and a new day.-Keisha Hallie Woods
