The Battle of a Dancer

This poem was inspired by my love for dance, and also dream I had.

The Battle of a Dancer
It pulses through me
as I strive to reach the hieght of my ability.
The rythmic awakening of all my senses
It is here I find the essence of my inner core
Strength, balance, control
Energy flows freely
It defines me,
drives me,
gives me purpose
and as the world spins into a blur,
I have courage.
Exilaration,anxiety,
happiness and anger
are as one as they push me higher
A place where the world fades away
I am one with music
It courses through me
and for a moment in time,
I find refuge where nothing else matters
It hardly exists
A battle with myself
The battle of a dancer.
