Broken Ballerina

  • February 5th, Friday morning, purple dawn... A moment like a poem, you wish you could hold it... I shut my eyes like it's frozen... it's gone when I open...

Broken Ballerina

I know on these broken wings

I will begin to fly

No strings

Nothing holding me

I'll take it as a lesson learned

I'm a chapter past

Trying not to look back



All I see are the clouds

Another rainy day

A sunless sky

I feel the light in me

My darkness tries to hide

But see theres days when I cant make it

The end of my life I feel

From the first breath in the morning

When I take it

Coming to reality 

The heartlessness of humanity

Climbing the hills

To see mountains looming 



You stand before me

Expecting to see me dance

Take you out of reality

You depend on my show

I put on my ballerina shoes

My sad song starts singing

I show you my world

The fight that breaks out of me

The weight of the world is heavy 

If you hold it

Can you see me

Watch closely

Its beginning

Falling is inevitable

My imperfections winning

I let you see right through me




I keep dancing

I just pass through

I'm not the girl you thought of

A big disappointment

I guess your dream is broken

now you understand

the sadness of my song

The girl you wanted

Was make believe

I tried to make you understand

You wouldn't listen

Perfection was all you wanted

Your face fades..

it doesnt bother me

Beautifully flawed 

I keep dancing

at least no ones watching

expecting me to fall
