I put myself through this pain,
day after day.
Because perfection is not easily achieved.
And willingly,
I'll continue suffering...
Until I'm light enough,
to float gracefully across the ice.

I can imagine it is all too prevalent amonst those in such careers as ballet! Deep take that is very thought provoking.. thanks!!
