Life Moments
The beats, thumping across the stage with vigorous sound, are going around the room every second.
Powerful music, bright showy lights, and a dazzling backdrop.
Impeccable movements, was all I could think about.
My mind was focused like a sharp dagger waiting to take aim.
The cheers of family and screams of the crowds.
As the song progressed
Each lyrical stanza hit my body like a shockwave.
Yelps of my teachers and classmates
I looked down and saw the tan color of my tights.
My mouth and eyes dropped with a bang on the floor.
CRAP…. was all I could comprehend.
Slowly I snapped back to reality
And continued on with my movements
Until the end of the song
Once it was over I laughed about it.
But I will never forget that moment in time.
Always embedded in my memory every time I step on stage
Like a fresh perm waiting to touch nappy roots.
