A bit of writing I came up with

Something I'm cooking up. Thought i'd get it out.
I'm not sure if it will be a poem or a song yet. I kind of lost the rhythm I had in my head as well as the melody.
Really not sure what kind of tempo i had in my head in poetry terms.
I figured it would be good to get some of it written down.
It was better in my head.

Dancing on Graves
we're standing on the train
where we starved in pain
many many years ago

we came to make a statement
that we got through the grey
that we weren't defeated
that we're standing today

we're dancing on the graves
to tell them we're alive
as we smile and wave
we know what we survived

I'm alive I'm alive
and i'll dance through the night
I survived I survived
no matter how much you tried
to deny me the right to continue my life
we're dancing on the graves of ....
