I will not lose this fight
I'll continue with my shows
Because broken ballerinas
Always land on their toes

A pleasure to read , please keep it up for I shall keep reading ,,your friend Tracy d ~~~5/5

Love the title and the poem itself is very very good! The second stanza was very good with the imagery and metaphor. The second to last stanza seemed a minor bit off in the flow, but overall very good!
Loved your title!!!!!

I don't have enough time to give you the comment I believe you deserved, but I couldn't leave without leaving atleast a kudos. That was amazing. You, my dear, need no criticism. Get yourself out into the world, and show what you're made of. Emily Dckenson would be proud, if you ask me :P

This is amazing, very powerful, and meaningful. this is a poem i can really relate to.

Wow this poem is great :)

A ver, very good piece indeed! Every stanza was as good as the one before, except the firstone, because it had no before stanza, lol, but was brilliant nonetheless. All the stanzas were poetic, strong, powerful, enticing, in a word, great. Well one, a wonderful piece indeed.

Such a beautiful piece but with a dark meaning. It seemed to me like the girl is avioding this mans abuse and she may seem fine on the outside, like a beautiful ballarina, but on the inside shes broken and bruised. I really liked it.
5/5, Nice work

The prose itself painted such a fragile picture,full of grace & tragedy I'll have to look @ the picture now! Beautiful!

Really the metaphor was more referring to her state of mind, it was how she escaped in her head in order to survive this abuse. She was imagining herself as this ballerina because just like if a dancer gets hurt she still pushes through to the end. So as she's being abused and thrown around she imagines herself as this dancer pushing tbrough to the end of her performance in order to survive. But ty ty ty for all the comments! I love hearing everyones interpretations! :)

Very good writing,
I dance around the room
Avoiding all his blows
--never heard it put that way
and the ending was the eprfect way to end it,
sad poem
