Dancing On Eggshells
Dancing on eggshells
Pursuing my groove
Correcting my posture
In hopes to improve
My tip toes are bare
In our home built of glass
I take each, ginger step
With fear induced class
I strive for perfection
I land below par
My rhythm needs work
Steps, too far apart
I try to refrain
And not tap my feet
I tame my excitement
I tune out the beat
I relax at a victory
My pivot, just right
But before I can bow
My dip is too tight
In the second of calm
I lose my composure
I begin to feel safe
My moves are all over
Your look of dismay
A familiar jab
I’ll continue to try
Even though I am bad
