" i hide my sorrow in light
i sweep my pain under shapes
i look at my life through an angle of
a lens mirrored from camera obscura
i survive in a world of illusion i create
each frame has a story
and i just keep on filming
the story of my life
surviving under those studio lamps
rearraging the set
hoping to catch that magic
in one take
the magic of light
that creates and transforms all
the magic of pain
all those tears in vain...
...and my heart in the shade.
(Elektra Goncharova, 25/02/2006) "

(Un)credited thanks:

Influences: "My Tough Childhood", says Elektra, and ... yaaaawns ...........

a quote to keep everyone influenced and on their path:

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the end, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway." -Mother Teresa

Sounds Like: Elektra.
