Favorite Quote:
"This above all: to thine own self be true" -Hamlet


Make me into a masterpiece. Tear me apart,
then reconstruct me into someone beautiful.
Someone the world has never seen.

Make me into a mosaic. Rip me to shreds,
then put me back together in a way that seems for fit.
Bound together the way the world should have seen me.

Make me into clay. Knead me down,
then stretch me out into someone loose.
The way the world should've known me.

Just make me a masterpiece,
the way the world never got a chance to see me.
