As i move gracefully through the flow
I forget everything, I let myself go
To the music, feeling the beat
The magic is here, enchanting my feet

I whirl slowly around the room
My pointe shoes hurt but I focus on the tune
Practicing hard for the show
Moving my body high and low

When you feel sad, dance they say
Me, I should dance every day
A soul expression, it's from the heart
Dance through the darkness, this is my art

Secret dancer at times, yes, maybe
Hiding myself so others can't see
Terrified at times of outside perception
After many years of harsh introspection

But the show must go on, wind, rain or shine
And If I keep on dancing, I'll be just fine
