Inside and Out

 Ruby had to write a poem in the style of The Raven for English.  Of course, she chose to write about dance, her passion.  The way dance shapes your body is nothing compared to the way it shapes your soul.

I feel so alive, always on my toes, 
My exhaustion never shows, my exhaustion never shows.

Stretching my legs through my feet in my shoes,

Standing in the wings, listening for my cues.

As I take a big breath that will carry me on stage,

The emotion of all movements fill the whole entire stage.

Sorrow, happiness and rage.
