floating down a river...

When they look at you,
They think,
Hey, she's got it all figured out.
You walk with your head held high,
Walking with your false security,
Just to see where it will get you,
It's gotten you this far already,
One of these days that one-trick pony's gonna throw you off,
And your Fourth of July parade will run into a rainstorm,
And the actress who plays you will be revealed,
For everyone to see,
Vulnerable and exposed with the spotlight shining bright,
And then when they look at you,
They'll think,
That's the girl who used to have it all together.
What happened to her?

very interesting, i'm curious on what inspired you to write this piece.
All in all, you have an imaginative mind

donde está mi amour?
wo ist meine Liebe?

Wow, I'm still trying to get back into my chair! Very, VERY good job on this one. I know exactly who you're talking about. I especially liked the line about "the actress that plays you". Genious.
