Dancing Nowhere

Escaping reality

Dancing Nowhere

Around, around in a pirouette you go,
gracefully floating with each spin.
Every turn you make takes you farther away,
forgetting all with a passionate grin.

Across the floor jete, jete,
like a doe in a meadow of green.
As you jump and sway, emotions play,
unaware as the dance becomes a screen.

In a final plie your adagio ends,
breathless, your performance complete.
Showing adoration the applause transcends,
with dimming light comes reality's heartbeat.

The ballet of life is your true tragedy.
A desperate dance to escape despair.
Demons silence your sweet Tchaikovsky.
Fall to the floor, you're dancing nowhere.
