Analysis of Confused



I can still see her
 powder puffy tutu
 Delicate pink
 Lending contour
 Matching ribbons
 Inter-braided hair
 French love knots
 Trial of patience
 Stage make-up
 Extended eyes
 Exaggerated cheeks
 Round and rosy
 Born to dance
 Yet, she stands,
 Devastated and alone
 On my mind's stage.
