Stay Young, Go Dancing

I nearly had to
pull over
to weep in a
deserted parking lot.


To let myself fall
apart into
the small pieces
I am losing everyday.


To curl against
my steering wheel
because there is 
nobody there
to hold me.


To wonder
what I am I left
with, when I am broken.
When I am empty
and worthless
and worn out.


But I didn't stop.
I kept driving.
It's the one thing
I can say I'm proud
I did today.


I kept moving forward,
kept wiping at my face,
kept making my 
weak sounds.


Kept on going
because I've got 
nowhere 
else to go.
