The music thuds along with my heart beat.
One... Two... Three...
I can feel my thoughts slowly slip away as I try to focus on putting my feet in the right places at the right time.
One... Two... Three...
Everyday worries slowly slip away and I picture a crowd and a big stage.
One... Two... Three...
I twirl and leap and my thoughts seem to flow out behind me, a rainbow of worries
One... Two... Three...
The rainbow twirls out the open window as my thoughts slip away and all I think is
One... Two... Three...
One foot, two feet, jump, land
One... Two... Three...
My hair flows behind me and I see my reflection in the mirror, I try to make my leaps higher, my splits wider as I twirl along the floor.
One... Two... Three...
I dip low, and move my arms out. I stretch my leg high and swirl back up and around.
One... Two... Three...
I try to follow the beat, imagining I'm back on point with a crowd cheering me on.
One... Two... Three...
I trip, but catch myself as the music ends, the memories flooding back with a thud as I realize I am not as good at dancing as I used to be. The rainbows comes in the window, fading to black as it leaks back into my head. I sit on my bedroom floor, remembering the days I took ballet.
I quit, but I still dance to get away from myself.
