Ode To The Stage

There’s love and there’s life in general
Life is boring with the occasional ups and downs
Nothing to feel one-of-a-kind

But there is one thing. The stage.
The stage can bring complete joy or utter fear.
To me, the stage makes me feel infinite
I’m the only one there, looking into the lights.


I’m not there for the tutus, the makeup, or the applause.
I’m there because the stage lifts me off my feet and takes my breath away.

And every time I leave the stage, I leave a little piece of my heart there.
The stage can bring complete joy or utter fear. But to me, it make me feel
Infinite. As if I could conquer the whole world.


The author's comments:
I being involved with performing, specifically dance, for almost ten years prior to writing this poem, have faced multiple challenges. Including, many injuries and sacrificing most of my social life. Despite those challenges I’ve always gotten back up because even with the blood, sweat, and tears (literally) I’ve gotten to experience everything, and even beyond what I’ve projected in Ode To The Stage.
