Ballet Slippers

by ♥•oOo Nikki oOo•♥©   Mar 29, 2006


Tarnished Slippers Remain
Between The Ora Of My Hands
With Dewed Horizions
Knit With Lacy Bands

Cherry Stained Toes
And Slippers Drenched In Red
The Ultimate Perfectionist
Feeds Off This Fruit's Bread

Velvety Footprints
Stitch Across The Ground
Tattooing The Diary
When Secret Pains Around

Bitter Choreography
Laced In True Perfection
Dancing Entirely
In Fatality's Direction

The Understated Mastermind
That Makes This Dancer Surge
Is The Willows Of Her Stomach
And The Throat That Helps Her Purge

Dancing Away Her Life
In Beautiful Decay
Lies The Ballet Slippers
That Laced Her Life Away

(On October 24th It Will Be My Fourth Year In Ballet, I Love It But It Hurts To See My Friends So Anorexic To Fulfill Their Dream To Dance)

    It's scary sometimes what people will do to make their dreams come true. Let your friends know that they can be healthy and still do ballet. And try not to worry too much. It's not good for your health. I'll pray for them-and you. Amazing poem, by the way, if I didn't say that already.

    Oh Gosh Nikki like you it would kill me to see that of my friends...it would kill me to know how they feel about their body, what they do..then let alone them not being able to do their dream because of it! I know you believe in God and its people like them we have to pray for! Wonderful write I loved this and the title!
