I can hear the music in the background
Cold sweat rolling down my chest
My heart pounding to the beat becoming one with another
Hitting every eight count
Leaping across the floor higher than before
The louder the music the faster my pace
Nothing on my mind, my body getting lost to the music
Smiling because they’re watching
Hair in my face
Adrenaline running
Feet aching
Body ready to collapse
Pushing for the next count
Knowing every pointed toe, releve, and turn can break it or make it.
Striving for more, because
Dance is what I live for.
