For the first time ever
Since the day i was born...
I am truly and completely
NAKED...

Hmmm..
It feels weird
And oddly humbling
This is me- NAKED

I am finally looking at myself
In my true image
The way i was originally made

NAKED....

Why have u left me all cold and lonely
All tired and grumpy
Why have u left me all alone in this bed?

My mind is alert and screaming
My eyes watching the time go by
Why have you left me and not said goodbye

My body is calling and crying out for you
Tonight was meant to be a special night
Why did you choose tonight to forsake me

Oh sweet sleep!!!!
My sweet sweet sleep!!!
Why have thou forsaken me??

This a very strange and odd feeling..
Dead exhausted..
Sleep deprived for a week...
Having a nasty migraine..
A bad tummy and aches and pains...
But for some inexplicable reason...
I am in the mood of dancing..
Dancing like i used to do..
Dancing like i danced way back ....

I’m driving home after a horrible n busy night...
I ought to be looking like the dead...
My eyes are heavy...
Can’t see the road ahead..
But for some inexplicable reason ..
I’m feeling like dancing..
I’m blasting loud music in the car..
I’m dancing and driving..
Don’t think i should be doing so..
But I’m dancing like i did way back..

Before i put in the key to my front door..
Backpack , eyes. And feet all heavy and sore...
I connect my phone to the Bluetooth..
On it comes blasting the beats that move my feet...
I ought to be collapsing in bed..
Tired and weary..
But for some inexplicable reason..
I’m stripping and dancing..
To the loud music I’m blasting..

The music is going on non stop..
I’m playing it on repeat
My body, soul and my feet have a rhythm..
Making me feel complete...
I’m still moving, i can’t seem to stop..
I am feeling like both death and life..
I can’t explain it.. my soul is filled with jive..
Oh what a vibe!!
And for some inexplicable reason..
I’m dancing and dancing like my bones aren’t old and weary..
dancing like I’m not all fat and heavy

I’m dancing like i used to way back
Moving from the front to the back
Winding the waist like its not old and achey
The shoulders are rolling and groovy
Yes I’m dancing .. like we did way back

Yes I’m back
Gotten my groove back
Almost forgot i still have all that
Almost forgot what it felt like
To dance like i did way back

I’m still dancing..
Better than i did way back
Oh yes I’m back
So is the rythm and the groove
My soul is renewed
I’m both old and new

Dancing like we did way back
Dancing more than i did way back

Dance
That’s all I can do

Dance
That’s all i would do

Dance
Let all the pain out

Dance
All the sorrow and fear away

Dance
Till i take my last breath

Dance
Through the tears and the pains

Dance
Through the uncertainties and fears

Just Dance

Don’t ever let your heart and feet loose their rhythm

DANCE!!!!

Insomnia and midnight cravings..
Village people abeg free me oh!!
I’m fighting this..

not going to look in the kitchen or freezer
I can hear my microwave calling me..
may have to check if i have turned off the lights..

Did i close the refrigerator door?
Did i leave the dishwasher or washing machine running

Didn’t realise how much i had been pulling
Didn’t realise the load i had been carrying
Didn’t realise how much my soul was aching
Didn’t realise that my strength was failing

I just kept pushing
I just kept moving
I just had to keep on going
I just thought i had no choice .. no stopping

Then just in a twinkle of an eye
I almost saw it all pass me by
All i have been struggling, leave me behind
And all that would have been left behind was a sigh..

I now had a to have a rude realisation
I don’t know what direction do i visualise
I have to make a new path, a different direction
A new realisation

I just don’t know what my role is or who am I anymore
I need to realise .. i need a new plan.. a new me
I need a new awakening
Everything i have and i know and i am is not as it is
Is this me or it isn’t

I need a new realisation..
