Poised Ballerina

Searching for answers to questions
previously posed,
poised ballerina,
exposing her nose;
toes twisting as she's gracefully
spinning out of control;
dramatic irony,
the whole world knows.

Treading murky waters with no
clear sense of direction,
no G.P.S. triangulation
to determine current positions,
only your third-eye straining
with near-sided vision,
relying on talent,
a little practice and intuition;
as you dance in a trance,
your lack of confidence is apparent,
sure, it's not your fault,
as if you're lying to your parents;
but it's just a way of being,
seeking what you believe in,
an elusive truth disguised in a lie
so what are really believing,
an elusive truth disguised in a lie,
so what are you believing?

Searching for answers to questions
previously posed,
poised ballerina,
exposing her nose;
toes twisting as she's gracefully
spinning out of control;
dramatic irony,
the whole world knows.
