Ballerina
Are you happy now?
Lying on the ground,
How much did this one cost you?
How expensive is that bruise on your right eye
How costly is that broken finger on your left hand
How high priced is your gash on your forehead?
How much did it cost you to get where you are?
How much does it cost to keep him coming back
To keep him saying I love you
To keep that bottle in his hand
And his fist on you?
How much does it cost to keep smiling
To keep acting normal
To keep their minds on the music
And their eyes on your bruises?
How much does it cost to keep him happy
And to keep you dying?
Was it worth it?
