All eyes are on her
She dances gracefully
Her smile gleams
It shines through all the others around

They wonder how she does it
But she wonders the same
Because underneath everything
Underneath the glamorous makeup
Underneath the glittery costumes
She is sinking

The others are much more talented
Her smile looks phony
All of her movements are shaky
Yet all eyes are on her
