The Best Feeling in the world

When I stand barefoot on stage in the morning before school only the dim backstage lights on no one around time feels like it is frozen in an ice box allowing me to express myself how I choose with positive calming vibes are around me as I have all my bottled emotions I take my first move reaching my right arm palm open I grab for the hope that is not there only to find emptiness I fall into the ground rocking and swaying to the rhythm of my feelings and the beat of my breath bum bum bum bum ha dum bum bum bum bum ha dum I jerk up, lifting my back up keeping my hips and shoulders on the floor thrusting my collar bone towards the sky as I reach up toward the light I get torn back down to the floor but I stand my ground and leap forward I do a firebird and turn pirouette one two faute five six seven coupe eight one two and land as my anger and sadness fly out from my head to my arms and legs as I lift myself to releve to my toes and fingers as I place myself in fifth position susu with third high arms and relaxed hands the soothing effects of my dance awaken my soul calming negative “vibes” and cause me to feel alive again as I stand and walk toe heel toe heel toe heel toe heel to the end of the stage looking at the empty audience and down the stairs I feel calm I am content with my rhythm filled with peace and joy the theme of my movement was the beat of my soul and the wind of my spirit the theme of my dance was a reach for opportunity that has failed.
