'Dancer' by Ravyn LaRue


I’m not very dancerly

But I like it

I used to hate the rigid structure of it all

But now at night I dash about my cage

Breaking my knees and emulating insanity

It’s fun for me and cathartic

Despite my blatant lack of talent

It makes me happy

And sad sometimes

Very sad

To the point of having to stop all together

While I’m mourning the fishes

At the end of the day, though, I know-

I turned the world on to what made me move, once

And if that’s my pinnacle

As microscopic as it may be

The spectators had my heart for seven minutes

And knew what it took to tear me apart

That ain’t half bad, really.
