Dark at night when people sleep,

Across the floor I spin and leap.

I like to dream I dance at the ballet,

My hallway is like my broadway.

One day I danced so long my toes were bleeding,

but I kept going because I was breathing.

I liked to jump high and low,

I even went through the motions in slow moe.

That night I danced so long my legs went jelly,

even my hair was all gross and sweaty.

I could barely walk but thats okay,

because I got to dance at my own ballet.
