About a girl scared to be what she wants because of what people will think.

She sits in the corner

Is quiet in class

And tends to walk alone

She talks with the wind

Pushing her back and fourth

On the swing while the others play ball

The leaves dance around her

She opens the box

Eyeing the ballerina

Noticing every flawless move

She gets up

Each jump, each position pile

She is filled with self-esteem and confidence

The curtain rises and the music plays

No longer wallowing in depression

No longer afraid of being in the spotlight

The elegant ballerina in the music box

Has grown

For she is the girl on the stage

Who’s matured

Into the beautiful girl in front of you
