You write the script to your own life...Don't let anyone take the pen from your hand!

She's this transparent mystery,
The blackest light i've ever known.
She's this repelling magnet,
This king who's begging low.
She's this magic normality,
This true, fake sort of thing.
The worst voice in her own mind,
when i fly as she perfectly sings.

The author's comments:
When a lot of people look at themselves, it's like staring into a fun house mirror. Their heads are too big, bellies too fat, chests too small, hair too dull, personality too quiet...we forget to appreciate ourselves, and instead spend a lot of our time admiring that which other people have and 'we don't'. I think you sing beautiful, why is it that you claim you are so out of tune?
