Fondled feet step onto the floor
Each shoes dirty but loved is placed next to her
She raps each blister and scar
Her shoe forms perfectly to her tired foot making it new
The ribbons fall into place and that foot is ready
As a pattern the other shoe flies on gracefuly
Standing she stretches her long muscular legs
She pulls her long brown locks up into a tight bun
Finally ready she looks up at her pale reclection all around her
Tights and leotard formed to her bones
She closes her eyes and the musics play in her mind
Step
Turn
Balance
Each move flows into place
Each step is not heard
Sweat drips off her brow and to the floor
Dancing this dance is easier than breathing
She lands her last move and places herself in the middle of the floor
Opening her eyes again she sees herself in the mirrors
She smiles as she sees who she is
A dancer
