My dancer puts me on
I slip across the floor
I spin around in circles
I am tied
I am untied
I am repeatedly put on
I am repeatedly took off
The feet of my dancer

My dancer puts me in the rosin
I am now sticky
I am now green
I am brown
I crackle
I bend
I snap
I twist
I shout
The shoes of my dancer

My dancer rises
I flex
I point
I stand strong
I hold my stance
I will not fade
The strength of my dancer

My dancer is done
I stay
I leave I am untied for the last time
I am broken
I am dead
I am thrown away
The weakness of my dancer
