Ballet makes me feel so high

It's like I'm flying through the sky

I don't know what I am outside

Of it

You can say that I'm being sappy

But it really makes me so happy

Everything else is just so crappy

But I'm okay

And I can forget what they said

None of it in my head

I don't care if I'm red

And dying

And even if I'm a little sore

I still crave for some more

They ask what I'm waiting for

And I don't know

I don't think of all the stress

About late night crying in my bed

I don't think about how I'm not the best

Until I get home

I cling onto it for dear life

But for now I can suffice

For momentary pleasures, I'll pay the price

Even if I'm broke

Why am I not doing enough?

Trying hard not to give up

I'm just so desperate for love

So why can't I get it?

Holding me down like an anchor

Always on my best behavior

Knight in shining armor, it's my savior

Even if I'm not a princess

There's no other safe place to be

I love it because I feel so free

It's the only thing saving me

From going six feet under

A/N: my English teacher thinks I'm depressed 💀 I'm not
