The Ballet Dancer's Song


The music moves through my arms

Every inch dances

My fingers, my toes

The ache from never stopping

The pain from pushing forward

Sweet, sweet reminder

My body turns

Head up

Balanced on my toes

Smile on my face never goes

Every muscle is in love

A spot light blinds me

But I don't need to see

My body knows what to do

Where to go

It breathes this dance

This song

On stage is where I am flawless
