Dancing with empathy: A journey of understanding
(describtion will be improved)
A story based on a poem.
---------------------------------
In a town where the wind whispers soft,
Lived a girl whose dreams soared aloft.
With eyes bright like stars in the night,
She danced in the day, in pure delight.
Watching ballerinas, graceful and fair,
She dreamed of joining them in the air.
Their movements, like swans on a stream,
Captured her heart, made her dream.
With each pirouette, each elegant glide,
She longed to dance by their side.
Their beauty, a sight to behold,
In her heart, a story not yet told.
But little did she know, behind their grace,
Lurked a pain she couldn't erase.
For the ballerinas, though they seemed fine,
Bore scars unseen, a hidden sign.
Their feet, once so delicate, now worn and scarred,
From hours of practice, persistent and hard.
Blisters and bruises, their constant companion,
Yet they danced on, without hesitation.
As the girl grew, her dreams took flight,
With every step, she chased the light.
But as she reached for the stars above,
She felt the weight of a hidden love.
She learned that beauty often hides,
The pain that dwells deep inside.
Like the ballerinas with their bruised feet,
Life's struggles, sometimes discreet.
So she danced with grace, yet with a knowing,
That beauty comes with a price worth showing.
For something so lovely, so divine,
May carry burdens, not just shine.
And in her dance, she found the key,
To understand empathy.
She knew that to truly see,
One must look beyond what's easy.
So let this tale be a guide,
To see beyond the surface, open wide.
In every dream, in every gleam,
Lies a story, not always what it seems.

'If you are able to move, you are able to dance.'
I watch her dance everyday, in the park alone. The way she moves to the expressions on her face, I've remember every part of her. Sometime I would want to call out to her, get her to turn my way, but I never want her to stop her. She would dance as if tomorrow was never going to come. The life in her feet, the gentleness in her hands and the smile on her face, makes me go into another world with her. Just us two.
Opal, holds a dark secret. The bruised on her body, hidden from everyone while she smiles, like everything is alright. She dances, not because she has to but because she want to. Those few minutes where her feet takes her to a whole new world, where it's just her and the song.
Zayn Malik, sits at the top of the school's social ladder. Never cared for relationships and clingy girls. From the beginning he has had his eyes on a particular dancer. One that dance in the park alone, and always seemed to be in a different world when she dances. He caved her, wanted her since the first time he saw her dance. Wanted her to be his and only his.
