Ghostly Dance

Alone in isolation
Whirling and twirling
Disappear into the night
Never to be seen again

Screaming, crying, pleading
Praying for the earth to swallow
Hiding me away from prying eyes
As if disappearing could prevent

Twisting, manipulating, focusing thoughts
The morbid and depressing overpowering
The positive thoughts try to surface
As if a small flower could defeat a bed of weeds

I am a dancer on a dark stage
Moving as though tormented
And the dark crowd sits silently
Masked faces stare unblinkingly

Silence is not always welcome

though I'm sure this comes from a dark place, I wasn't daunted. The light of creativity shone through

Very dark, chilling, and good poem.
