Michaela P.: Stumble

Dancing is
many things.
its graceful,
its hardworking,
its plies and tendus and jetes.
It’s twirling to your heart’s content.
Dancing is
many things
and so am I
I’m graceful, even if I stumble
I’m hardworking, even if I fail
I am like a plie, I might go down,
but when I come back up I’m stronger than before.
I am many things
and so is dancing
I can twirl and get dizzy,
maybe even fall.
But I can also get back up,
and keep dancing through all.
