Ballerina

Ballerina Ballerina
Why do tears fill up your eyes
Your beautiful
A sight to behold
Why can you not see

At lunch you push away your food
Claim not to be hungry
But I can see the hunger
Lurking in your eyes

Ballerina Ballerina
Why do tears fill up your eyes
I see you practice everyday
Till you're to weak to even stand

Your moves are already perfect
Gracefully they flow
But in your eyes they're mediocre
You cannot see your skill

Ballerina Ballerina
Why do tears fill up your eyes
Your bones show through your leotard
A dancing skeleton on stage

To early for halloween
but in the light all you can see
is a pumpkin round and grotesque

Ballerina Ballerina
Tears filling up your eyes
Your friends are begging you to eat
And still you do refuse
Condeming them to watching you
Slowly fade away
