She laces up pointe shoes
Apprehensive for audition
Motivation steels and psyches
Muscles warmed and willowy
Oh the anxiety
Oh the comparison
Oh the athleticism
The dancer feels the music from within translating each note
Each beat
For the director
She laces up pointe shoes
Ready for rehearsal
Sweat dripping and drenching
Spirits worn and weary
Oh the monotony
Oh the frustration
Oh the blisters
The dancer feels the music from within translating each note
Each beat
For herself
She laces up pointe shoes
Perfection in performance
Toes twirling and whirling
Tutu’s flowing and flying
Oh the beauty
Oh the strength
Oh the grace
The dancer feels the music from within translating each note
Each beat
For the audience
