Cyd Charisse is different.
Apart from all the rest.
Cyd Charisse is unordinary,
special,
unique.
Cyd Charisse is going places
Has a lot in store for her life.
Cyd Charisse is told by many that shes not as good as she thinks.
That she wont do anything.
That shes not gifted or unique.
Cyd Charisse starts to crumble
tumbling beneath these lies.
Cyd Charisse's pieces fall to the floor.
Cyd Charisse's pieces shatter without a sound.
Cyd Charisse is told again "You know your really not that special"
Then she falls further than before.
Cyd Charisse's pieces are found in her room.
All across the floor, covered by people red lies.
A not on her bed,
"Whats the point in living
with no one by my side?
Everyone said I wouldnt
do anything extraordinary
with my life. They were right.
I didnt. I did something
extraordinary with my death.
Now youll never for get
how it was your fault
Cyd Charisse's pieces
shattered to the floor."
