WAITING FOR THE MUSIC TO PLAY she’s poised on her tiny stage waiting for the music to play she wears a pink leotard and white satin tutu bordered with lace waiting for the music to play she stands en pointe in perfect form waiting for the music to play she is perfectly still on her shapely, porcelain legs waiting for the music to play she looks around never moving her head waiting for the music to play she sees her perfect body and slender lines in the stage mirror waiting for the music to play she is a beauty with delicate, alabaster skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair waiting for the music to play she yearns to twirl around with style and grace waiting for the music to play she patiently bides her time, her legs never quivering waiting for the music to play she dreams of her future, reflects on her past waiting for the music to play she’s eternally destined to remain on her toes waiting for the music to play she cries a single tear letting it stream down her face hoping someone will turn the key
