From the first ray of morning light
To the last thought in her head at night
It was only “I cant’s” and “I’m not enough’s”
Nothing but “Why bother’s” and “I give up’s”
But stitched carefully amid the seams
Were the glorious little in-betweens
The take-over-the-world schemes
And the overdone daydreams
The ultraviolet light beams
And the pushing far past extremes
The carefully crafted success scenes
The well-oiled transformation machine
Sly smiles masking elated screams
The “One day you’ll all see what I mean’s”
And the “I’m like no one you’ve ever seen’s”
And those wondrous little in-betweens, however slight
Pieced together and paired with her fight
Proved to be miraculously enough
To fill every corner of the world with love
