Every morning, every day, she gets up and smiles
At the frown she sees in the mirror.
Wishing her eyes were darker, or lighter
Or coloured like her shadow.
And every minute, every hour, she wishes
That the washroom sign would disappear.

What good would a person be
if she couldn't find her way around?

And she says-

"Why do the stars only come out at night
When the darkness grows, and everyone's sleeping?
Why does the sun-
make me a shadow
When the daylight grows and no one cares?"
She wondered why the washroom sign wouldn't disappear...

Every morning, every day, they wake up and smile
At the frown they don't see in here
Wishing their hair was longer, or shorter
Or coloured like a rainbow.
And every minute, every hour, they look up
To find the washroom sign still there.

What good would a person be
if she couldn't put her make-up on?

And they don't say-

"Why do the stars only come out at night
When the darkness grows, and everyone's sleeping?
Why does the sun-
make me a shadow
When the daylight grows and no one cares?"
They sometimes wondered why the washroom sign was still there...

Every morning, every day, the world keeps on turning.

Oh my, that was a bad/pathetic attempt at songwriting.

Actually, it sounds better with the music, but uhh...I'm not gonna give that to you. BWAHA! *dies of embarrassment but somehow lives to post this*

I actually really enjoyed this. I thought it was a great attempt at writing a song. I commend you... It sounded good. Interesting words, though, but they worked really well, makes you think... Definitely different from what I've read from you, but that's not bad. Thanks for sharing!

Can I hear the music??

""Why do the stars only come out at night
When the darkness grows, and everyone's sleeping?
Why does the sun-
make me a shadow
When the daylight grows and no one cares?""

That was gorgeous. *bump*

Leah, this is beautifully written. I can picture it with music and you sitting at the piano playing along.

It's got everything and while this reply may blow quite a bit, I really do love it. I haven't used the library function in a million years - this looks like a good reason to get it kicking again.

Well done. It's great. *dances*

Me.

I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.
