Dance is a fluid,
Flowing, softly, streamlined.
Every movement effortless
Pointed, structured, controlled

Cutting is a fluid,
Fast slashes with a cool blade.
Every movement effortless
Eyes wide, shocked,
emotionless.

Dance is an art,
Choreography the paintbrush,
This is your canvas:
The dance floor, sturdy

Cutting is an art,
Painting a picture in blood.
This is your canvas:
Pale, white skin,
scarred.

Dance is your life.
Continuous shows, performances.
Nothing comes between you and it.
Focus: Kicks, twirl, smile

Cutting is your life.
It beckons you to never stop
Nothing comes between you and it.
Not even love, you live
pain.
It's hard to live a double life. It's hard to hide the scars in tight clothes and short dresses. It's hard to fake a smile when you're dying inside.

I could never dance. I don't have the grace....
and yet I wanna do gymnastics.
I'm getting a tattoo soon. It's going to be black with blue butterflies where I had cut most.... my ankle.
