Embraced in silk,
Tied in a bow.
My feet slide in
With muted pain.
It’s worth it, though
For the ecstasy it brings.
I feel like I’m flying,
But the tap of the shoe
On the rosined hardwood
Continuously
Brings
Me
Down
To reality.
Nevertheless
Beauty shines
Through the pain.
Invincibility surges through.
The curve of the arch
Holds in form,
And I’m here
Dreaming.
Author notes
I did take ballet & I wish I could restart. It's so beautiful.

I went to bed aruond 1 40 & still managed toblow off reading Virginia Woolf. I guess she isn't too horribly bad, but still, she is not my favorite author. I don't know why, but I've been blowing off hw so much lately. It's kind of bad. And my chem teacher announced that out of the 9 kids in that class, 6 of us have Fs...and two are really bad Fs soooo hoping that's not me. I'm not that bad in chem...or I hope I'm not. -
