when I hear the first note of that song
When i take that first step into my soul
its like the first ripple on the stillest waters surface
like the first drip an ice-ickle drips
the first scream that breaks the dead silence
the first tingle that tingles from your noes to your tiny toes
Its the beginning of my moment
when the lights flash on and 100 hands come together for just me and the stage performing beside one another.
When I leap in the air and I fly for three seconds
when I twirl round and round as the worlds sounds fades out
Its just me and my feet
me and my soul
me and my heart
my last screams echo
my every want
my every inch of future
my every goal I ever set
just to be a dancer
The soft landing of my foot as a skaters blade gliding on ice
the beat of the song matching my every thrust and flowing jump
the bounce of my tutu and the wave of my hand as I exit the stage with a smile so very grand
I feel beautiful
I am beautiful
I dance beautiful
but this is all a lie
I have never danced before
what I right and claim is simply insight
this feeling I've never felt
this moment I've never lived
tell me people who have, did I achieve your feelings? Did I describe it the way you would if you where a writer as am I?
do you feel free?
do you feel beautiful?
Is it really magical?
oh, how I long to feel like that
yet I am as I let these words flow into your hands
I am beautiful
I am free
It is magical
Its is everything I have dreamed
I am glad to be the one and only me
