Ballerina

Stumbling upon the dancing ballerina in the jewelry box,
only to find that the box’s key needs to be rewound.

She’s lived in a doll’s house her entire life, 
sheltered from the harsh realities we've come to accept.
So why should I feel such remorse?

Dance for us, if you please, ballerina.
and we’ll keep winding that music-box key.
We’ll all just stand by and applaud your valiant attempt.
