An outgoing spirit with a confident poise
Her courageous risks full of doubt
An excited talent still new and insecure
Quiet and shy while holding the perfect stance
The dance of many nights of practice
The leap of bravery and self assurance
The uncertainty closed off in her mind like a broken zipper spreading fear
The same skills as before with out there attempts
Failure or success
The picky on lookers watching her adventure across the stage
Her graceful jump
A beautiful turn
Relief

This seems organized and worded well. Good job.
ReplyDelete"...uncertainty closed off in her mind like a broken zipper spreading fear" is wonderful. The idea of fear being held back by a piece of cloth and the zipper breaking--with fear bursting forth-- is fantastic. Excellent choice of phrasing.

This poem is relatable with pressure of how people expect you to do and how you expect your self to do. That moment where you just got to stop fixing all your what ifs and just go for it.
