"The dancer’s final leap”

“I exist only to dance.”
i say to myself as i fail over and over repeatedly.
“You're not good enough” they say.
“you’re a failure” they repeat.
I try to prove them wrong...over and over.
“...Useless”  i say as i fall to the ground again.
I try harder and harder but failure is all that awaited me.    

“UNBREAKABLE CHAIN!”
I scream as i cannot stop failing.
I remember why i exist
and to what’s my purpose in life
as i make the final leap and land on my feet…
I hear a faint voice say
“The sky is inside you”

I smile widely
finally understanding who i am
and my life’s complete purpose.
For i’ve seen now
that it was never about the distance

But it was about the mile and the
journey taken during it
