In the shadows of the night

(A poem inspired by Jennifer Lopez song titles)

Waiting for Tonight,
When the weight lifts off my chest,
Ain’t It Funny how silence speaks,
In a world that never rests.

I’m Real, just a soul beneath the skin,
With dreams held close, yet feeling thin.
Get Right, I whisper to my heart,
In the dance of life, it’s a fragile art.

Love Don’t Cost a Thing,
Yet sometimes it feels so high,
All I Have are memories,
As the days and nights go by.

Let’s Get Loud, let the voices rise,
Hold You Down, through the lows and highs.
With strength unspoken, I’ll take the stand,
Until It Beats No More, I’ll be my own man.

Ain’t Your Mama telling me how to feel,
In the mirror, I’ll confront what’s real.
We Are One, through the struggles we share,
Dance Again, with courage in the air.

On the Floor, I’ll move with grace,
Finding peace in this sacred space.
Just a Girl from the Block, trying to find my way,
In the journey of the heart, I won’t fade away.
