A beautiful dance of smiles

With moves so precise

But what nobody knows

Is the strife behind the scenes

Little Anna is an orphan

Alone and afraid

But never tells a soul

George is forced to do what he doesn’t want

He doesn’t have his own life

But lives for another

Headmaster Sally

Looks cam, cool, and collected

But behind the scenes she wants to be mended

Betrayed by her boyfriend

Overwhelmed by debt

All of the dancers

Great and small

Boy and girl

Non-binary

And everyone else

Have challenges

But they hide them

Behind the scenes

But what they don’t know

Is if they opened the curtain

Of their heart

They might just find

That they have more in common

Then they think
