Kate's Poem

Always will I remember when I learned to pointe in ballet
Always a smile dancing upon my face
Always feeling the sharp ache of pain in my toes
My bun pulled so hard my head was bleeding with agony on the inside
Always will I remember that pain. The pain in my knotted stomach struck like lightening setting my heart on flames yet still I smiled with joy
Always will I remember the dizziness I felt. Spotting this corner and that my head couldn't catch up to my legs
Always will I remember how the music hit my ears the passion and grace deep within allowed my worries to disappear and my past to disintegrate
Always I will dance to calm my fears my worries my agony from before
Always I will remember the soothing pain from the traditional pointe or pirouettes
