Silent Killer

A ballet dancer in a far away city

Young, Beautiful, fair and pretty

Tells a story with every pirouette

Graceful twirls help her forget

Her talent for the world to see

Perfect Adagio’s sets herself free

Curtain drops with the last bow

In awe the Audience goes wow

Mesmerised their Spirits on high

Perfect Allegro’s, did you see her fly

She slips away, retreats to her life

Sad with a heart full of strife

The smile that once is now gone

Alone, feeling she doesn’t belong

 Plump physic is no longer there

Thin as rake she doesn’t care

To be the best comes with pressure

Creeping in Anorexia the silent killer
