Waiting in the wings
as the curtain rises.
You step out
into the light,
and everything
fades away.

You take the first step
with a smile on your face.
You feel the adrenaline
pumping through your veins.
You glide,
you leap.

You finally feel free.
The hard work,
the pain, the tears.
It’s finally worth it.
You are a dancer.
