&quot;They can&#039;t scare me, if I scare them first.&quot; -Lady Gaga<br /> &amp;<br /> &quot;I remember watching the mascara tears flood the ivories and I thought, &quot;It&#039;s OK to be sad.&quot; I&#039;ve been trained to love my darkness.&quot; -Lady Gaga


When concluding upon the end of twilight,
It is one song that I am left to sing
And be one vocalist, I inhale the dusk
New England wonders freeing my soul of mourning
With the physique of its nature, mountain so tall
I gasp of all inception of reality,
And standing among the dirt pathway to love,
It is you for whom I thank of freeing my mentality.
My dear savior, I write to you now, exposing the contours of my soul
And be one miraculous voyager,
It is among my journey that you have made me whole.
And though the stars shall twinkle, with never recognition of what gravity you defied
It was not your presence that constructed this earthly palace, as it was based upon the perception of your eyes
With all intention, it is you for whom I thank, each day of mine a spark
Far from our universe, you sing from another place
Like fluorescence in the dark.

&quot;A guy walks up to me and asks &#039;What&#039;s Punk?&#039;. So I kick over a garbage can and say &#039;That&#039;s punk!&#039;. So he kicks over a garbage can and says &#039;That&#039;s Punk&#039;?, and I say &#039;No that&#039;s trendy&#039;!&quot;- Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day

I like it, it's emotional and you really do a good job of capturing the visual ideas in your word choice!
