A little girl danced to a song her world small and nothing wrong And in that instant she knew that she a dancer she would always be Her dream since the tender age of five she knew that she must work and strive Stumbling, falling, she fell to the ground hurting herself severely she found Years later it was all just a dream everything went back to normal it seemed And then one day she hurt it again but still she pushed on and didn't let it win.
For long months she endured and toiled the pain refusing to be foiled They all tried to make it heal but it wouldn't, and her fate it sealed Keeping it hidden from everyone close even the ones she loved the most For she was scared and very angry didn't want to lose her dream you see When it was all too much to shoulder she caved in and the world turned colder.
They told her she would have to quite her heart a candle no longer lit She stopped breathing as the world froze blinking numbly she arose Sitting backstage as her music played mutely staring as the future was made And then the music ended and all the dancers ascended As she sat thinking, "is this real?" "Why God? I just want it to heal." Tears frozen in her eyes as she desperately wished it was lies Picking up a flower from the floor all that was left of what was before.
Holding herself alone at night the crying girl a broken sight Losing her dream was the hardest thing her voice she found no longer sang What would she do now that its gone? a uncaring façade she would have to don All that was left was memories she wished the unending pain would just cease The poor little girl learned to soon that the world was harsh and full of gloom The hardened girl still remembers a life she had, now ashes and embers.
She'll never forget but she will let go telling her precious dream farewell To this day it still hurts but she's stronger now when it wont desert I know this girl very deeply because you see its really me. -Esther L. Krenzin- -Roguesong-
The bravest thing I've ever done, is continuing to live when I wanted to die. The hardest thing I've ever done, is telling my precious dream goodbye.
