I dance on glass shoes never knowing how fragile they may be

Every click I hear from the heels on the floor makes me flinch

I dance on, knowing that they cannot hold the weight of my steps forever

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

I dance on, knowing how badly it will hurt when they break

But how could I ever stop

How could I end the dance knowing I perhaps could've gone a few steps more

Instead I dance on, and dream as if I could dance forever

Until my glass shoes break
