Really the metaphor was more referring to her state of mind, it was how she escaped in her head in order to survive this abuse. She was imagining herself as this ballerina because just like if a dancer gets hurt she still pushes through to the end. So as she's being abused and thrown around she imagines herself as this dancer pushing tbrough to the end of her performance in order to survive. But ty ty ty for all the comments! I love hearing everyones interpretations! :)

Such a beautiful piece but with a dark meaning. It seemed to me like the girl is avioding this mans abuse and she may seem fine on the outside, like a beautiful ballarina, but on the inside shes broken and bruised. I really liked it.
5/5, Nice work -

A ver, very good piece indeed! Every stanza was as good as the one before, except the firstone, because it had no before stanza, lol, but was brilliant nonetheless. All the stanzas were poetic, strong, powerful, enticing, in a word, great. Well one, a wonderful piece indeed.
