standing here
under the spotlight
feeling the pressure
to get it right
standing here
under the spotlight
seeing the faces
who is here tonight?
thrown to the crowd
a symbol of Perfection
meeting their standards
not seeing my reflection
all seeing me
none knowing me
who am i? do you know?
standing here
under the spotlight
to face another crowd
to look away from the truth
you don't know me
you don't own me
why am i so used?
