Born To Dance

Born wearing ballet shoes without knowing, far in the deep nature, in the Sakhalin Islands, a ballet star opened his eyes for the first time. Warmed by the love of his family, he grew up happy until his life changed. He travelled without ballet shoes to Riga, where he saw a new beginning, still warmed by his mum. A beautiful blond seven year old boy started to be rebellious. A worried mum took him to a ballet school. He started to dance in an old Soviet school with many others without names by then. His ballet shoes fit him so well that made his jumps popular all over the world. Swam Lake, the Nutcracker... All the best performances for one dancer to be danced. He flew away to a new country looking for liberty, which he found for a while. Money, which he never had before, opened many doors for him, as well as popularity and freedom. Long wings for dreaming above the poor life he had. Long wings for a beautiful bird that didn't know how to fly. Instead he prefered to be keeping fit at day, showing his best face to be display for the others, but drowning in a glass of miseries and memories mixed who knows with. He lost his ballet shoes at the age of 45, not far from the sea, kilometres away from his home. Alone, without anyone knowing, even his "best friends", he left this world, and he didn't know how loved he was, but the whole world wonders why we didn't love him before.
