When
I was lazy
I thought I was as good as I could get
I was weak
I was strong
I was motivated
I was not
“No”
The world is silent and tired,having borne the weight of a thousand restless soulsand the window pane shivers as the night drags on and I feelalmost sorrybut I can see little diamonds coruscating in the darkness,constellations dancing a story olde
THE AUDITION ROOM
ALLY IBACH
I cannot count the number of times I have stood in a room being silently judged.
Sometimes silent is not even the word.
"Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch. Again."
Wipe the sweat before they see.
"Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch."
Just breathe. Ignore the pain.
Keep dancing. Show no weakness.
SMILE!
