Obessesed

Obessesed

A Poem by Silent Raven

Point your toes

Stretch higher

Leap

Look in the mirror, they’re better than you

Splits

 Left and right

Smile

Look at them dancing, you know it’s true

Sissonne

Plié

Grand battement

You’ll never be as good, you’re only you

Push

Forget the pain

Dance on air

Dance like your body is being possessed

Pirouette

Piqué

Cabriole

Keep on dancing, you’re obsessed

Arabesque

Attitude

Royale

Something you will never confess

Watch the mirror

See them dance

They’re the best

You’ll never compare

Obsession is eating you alive

And the mirror shatters

Like your life

theme is dancing. good title, use of words, and sense of emotion. there are some dance moves i havent heard of and if i have i have forgotten over time! i used to be in dance even though i hated it!

I like the obsession part, especially how it's written in hymnal form.
