Her feet are in pain
Her legs are so sore
But her heart and soul
Cry out for much more

Her makeup is on
hair done up with spray
She's wearing her best
Costume on this day

Her shoes pierce her feet
As she leaps and turns
And inside she feels
Her own passion burn

She flies through the air
Finally uncaged
And ends with a bang
Right on center stage

I used to take dance classes and perform. I was feeling nostalgic the other day and wrote this in honor of dance.
