On pointe

Give me a reason to continue this. 

Two

Pushing myself beyond true potential

Four

The bruises, the broken hopes

Six

All for one spotlight

Eight

All for their eyes. 

And

All for nothing.

This was awesome. It' amazing what the body can become addicted to, and as a dancer, I know how crazy things can grow as we push ourselves beyond what others can, and we love that. This rings so true.

Ah yes, addiction is the best way to describe it. Thanks for the read (:

I'm assuming this is about ballet, considering the title is "on pointe". The flow of this poem is wonderful.. I read it out loud to myself a few times, and the rhythm is undeniable. It's a very emotive piece. I know what it's like to question what you love.. Perhaps you could take a break from dancing (or whatever it is that this poem is about, if my assumption was incorrect) and reassess, as I did. xox

It is indeed about ballet! Thank you so much for your words. I did end up taking a break from dance, as my body was taking a toll. Your review means a lot!
