Just the Technique
October 11, 2017
With every kick
Leap
Turn
Pointed toe
Stretched leg
You always push one step farther
You always exceed to your fullest potential
The eyes are watching
Staring
Glaring
They look up to you
They see you at your best
They want to be you
Teachers expecting 210%
Students expecting 210%
You try too hard
Can't push any more
Start slacking
No more a leader
No more a role model
Just another girl
In dance class
With nothing
Just the technique.
