Come See My Show by Ialie
Merit for June 2022
I got my name in lights,
I see all the sights,
There's nothing better than being me,
Of all my friends,
In all the land,
There's no one else I'd rather be,
Got butterfly wings,
And lyre strings,
You know that I'll entertain,
Say you won't go,
Come see my show,
Yeah, you know my name,
Hey, you there, friend! Hello!
Did you come to see the show?
All things fun and cute and Rainbow!
Sparkles, glitter, Yeah, let's go!
Hey, check out my smiling face,
I entertain with poise and grace,
I hide my tears; there is no trace,
That I struggle at this pace,
Hey, step right up, see my show,
Don't look behind the curtain, though,
It's so much better if you don't know,
All the pain that's there below,
My stomach is all tied in knots,
My face is flush, so very hot,
There is so much there that I've forgot,
Drowning in my poteen pot,
I'm screaming in an empty hall,
I'm running full speed at the wall,
I'm up so high; I fear to fall,
I talk so big while feeling small,
The scars on my face,
When I fall from grace,
Show the cracks in my self-esteem,
Flying by fast,
To escape my past,
And innocence that can't be redeemed,
Got butterfly wings,
And lyre strings,
You know I'll still entertain,
Say you won't go,
Come see my show,
Watch me burn in the fame.
