They say ice skating is a sport

Skill sure is special

Laced up

Blade

Sharp,metal

Glide

Catch that rhythm

Uhh

Dare to do the electric slide?

Elisa

I’m with you all the way when you repeatedly sang

“Let it go”

Soul felt it in

F.R.O.Z.E.N

A temperature my heart can never turn

Icy hot just for the causes of the pain

Oh I watch irrelevant stuff just fly over my shoulders

The only time I...

I want to cry,

but I don’t have time.

I would lie,

but I don’t have the energy.

I’m just done.

but I can’t be done.

I can’t cry.

there’s so much to do,

too much to do,

and no time.

I just want to sleep,

but I can’t even do that.

what’s the point, anyways?

I’ll do something and be happy I did it,

then someone comes along,

and ruins my mood.

“well you didn’t do this so…”

bleh.

I want to cry....

There’s always a tell.

Sometimes it’s

The blink of an eye,

The tilt of a head,

A word or phrase that makes you feel…

Off.

A tell is like a crack on a frozen pond:

All fun and games as you watch from the sidelines as some tries to skate away

But

But

But

Someday, you’ll be the skater.

The cracks are no longer fun,

No longer funny.

You see the tells and know exactly what’s happening

But

You can’t do...

Gliding slowly on the ice,

Hoping, praying not to trip

And fall, because

The ice already has so many holes

That if you break another,

The whole lake will collapse.

And the frigid water

Will swallow your body

And you will fall,

And fall,

And fall,

Until you hit the bottom

And run out of air....

The line I have been walking

Keeps getting thinner every day.

I mean, it would be great to

have a break in getting through.

But there is just no coming

through those thick-laid bricks

And spears and tricks that

You’ve been plotting all around.

Adjusting my approach

Does not seem to be yielding

Any, even semi-decent crops.

So I shall modify the gist.

Again and so it goes.

On, and on, and on.

You...

It truly is a beautiful form of art

The beauty that never leaves since the start.

The laughs, the joy, the love it brings

And it is all sealed with a deadly ring.

It truly is a hard form of art.

The struggle that always seems to stay in it's part.

Yet all it needs from you

Is the life of yours so blue

So that they take what's truly left of you.

Ice skating is wonderful, it is so gracious.

Yet th...

When you’re living on thin ice,

You never need to “add some spice”

It doesn’t matter what you do,

She will never forgive you

All your rights turn into wrongs,

It’s so hard to feel strong

When all you hear are hateful words

And all the days, they start to blur

Will you ever make it out?

How many times must you shout?

Ask for help with no answer,

Maybe you’re meant to be a dancer

Dance around ...

As gentle as can be

With blades beneath my feet

I feel my balance wavering

with only that first step

Your grip is tight and welcoming

Your smile warm against the ice

You watch me with such patience

And pull me closer holding tight.

I fall a bit and stumble more

Like a new born deer, legs still sore

But you pick me up and kiss my cheek

And we try again

Stand like this, you mimic for me

And slide ...

Blades cutting through cold

People becoming old

A curl could swirl

The girl is a pearl

The figure whirls

I saw a squirrel

The judge hurled

The dog curled

The log fell

Fellow neighbors ran away

The show got canceled

No more ice skating for today

The day ended early

The people ran away

The squirrels flew up a story

The story never ended

The judges flew and folded

For the girl on ...

You start slowly

You really cant walk properly

and your body feels wobbly

but your happy.

you’re starting out

Then you slowly get better

you can skate now

but without the tricks.

you just move faster stay upright better

and you’re starting to understand how it works

then you learn new tricks.

simple ones

you learn how to twist on the ice

you learn how to create an ice spray

you get better a...
