From awkward girl.
To graceful swan.
From deep shyness.
To shining star.
The shoes had the power to lift the soul where she lacked inner strength.
Once those shoes were on,
Once her feet touched the hardwood,
Once the spotlight shone down on her.
Nothing else mattered.
Not the teasing.
The bullying.
The horrors of wicked peers.
It all fell away.
The shoes didn’t hold the magic.
She did.
She just didn’t know it until many years later.
When she shoes mostly lay at rest.
The power she found in dance.
Was always in her.
