Light and magic and smoke and perfume,
lace, thin cotton, silver and sweat,
tattoos and oil and leather and tears,
lycra, spandex, paint and fishnet.
Desire and confidence and tension and fear,
hopes and dreams and love and hate,
Order and chaos and joy and sadness,
Pride and prejudice, chance and fate.
She complains to her loved ones,
and smiles at the world,
she laughs at herself,
when she cries like a girl.
