Broken Ballerinas Land On Their Toes

Broken, beaten, tortured
The hardened wall I hit,
Never will I fall
But to his power I'll submit

I dance around the room
Avoiding all his blows
Soon my frozen tears
Fall as winter's snows

But I refuse to quit
To fall under his spell
I might be broken now
But I won't die in this hell

I've learned to pull away
To imagine a different world
Where I perform on stage
I've jumped,spun, and twirled

I'm a broken ballerina
Performing once more
I'm as a strong as a soldier
Tasting the pain of war

I will not lose this fight
I'll continue with my shows
Because broken ballerinas
Always land on their toes
