She dances with the grace nobody could believe
Her body is alive and acceptance she receives
Her views of herself show the beauty in pretend
Yet that doesn't stop the other side from crying out within
It threatens to reveal her and show her to all
One wrong step on an unnatural flaw
The audience is alit but they haven't a clue
As they watch the dark side break her in two
Midnight strikes and the dancer's fate is sealed
When she takes to the for her true self is revealed
Now her cover has been blown, the girl before gone
Nothing there remains but the feared Black Swan
