My Ballerina Necklace

My necklace hangs around my neck,
Flooding my mind with memories.
Reminding me of when I was a nervous wreck,
But that is now in the past.

Holographic diamonds line the tip of the dress,
Shining bright as stars.
It turned out to be a yes,
Although I thought I wouldn't pass.

I've had you for years,
Since my first ballet exam,
Been through happiness and tears,
You always calm me down.

The silver chain joins onto the ballerina charm.
Her beige-cream tutu
Rests weightlessly on my palm.
Light as the ribbon used to tie her shoe.
