I became a "petit rat" of the Opera at the age of 13.	5,25 ft and 94 lb, I was admitted even with my extra pounds.
I lacked grace, flexibility.	I redoubled my efforts. If they could, I could.
days after days I became as elegant as others	And as skinny too. Like a distorted iron wire.
We were like machines.	Movements and their magnitudes were imposed to us.
It becames more and more painful.	Are you able to feel it?
