A Single Day
Beneath the mirror's unkind gaze,
The dancers move, a trembling haze,
Their feet on fire, their spirits high,
They leap toward dreams that touch the sky.
With satin shoes and steady grace,
They chase a dream they can't erase.
The studio hums with the beat of their fight,
As shadows stretch in the fading light.
Each pirouette, a whispered prayer,
Each aching joint, a cross to bear.
The bruises bloom, a badge of pride—
They wear the pain they cannot hide.
Age creeps in with a silent tread,
A whispering doubt that fills their head.
Fate looms large, and circumstance calls,
But still they rise when the morning falls.
They do not know what heights they’ll claim,
Or if the world will know their name.
Yet every day, they show up still,
Defiant hearts, unyielding will.
The barre their anchor, the floor their stage,
Each practiced step, a war they wage.
Against the clock, against despair,
They find their solace dancing there.
For in the fire of every strain,
They feel the joy outweigh the pain.
One day, they’ll stand where stars ignite—
Their moment brief, but oh, so bright.
And so, they dance, through sweat and strife,
Through fleeting youth, through all of life.
The world may doubt, but they believe—
A single day is all they need.
