"The Performance"

The spotlight brightens The music begins I'm up on my toes as I twirl and spin I jump and I leap From one side to another feeling just the music never any other. I raise up in pointe then down in plye performing what I've practiced for so long every day. To dance is my dream, I can't let it die for when I do dance I feel I can fly The world can disappear My troubles can cease For just one moment I am truly at peace.
