She's beautiful, but insecure
She's perfect, but she's not sure that she is because nobody sees her like she sees herself. Nobody loves her like she loves herself

Her mirror is her best friend, her mirror never lies, her mirror admires all her dance moves, her mirror stares in surprise.

She keeps her doors open, but they feel closed, for she's the only one who opens her doors, she's the only one who understands her flaws

Her imperfections make her perfect, she knows this, her smile is golden and she knows this. She isn't really the crowd favorite and she knows this. The crowd loves her anyway

What she doesn't know, is that I'm always observing. That I don't forget any detail, that I'm always swerving any feelings being thrown because I'm scared and I'm scarred. And also because that I'm hurt and it's bad

What she doesn't know is that I'm scared that my scars will infect her. That my fears will destroy her, that my love will only harm her.

So I stay in my corner, observing as usual. For any step I take closer, only  ruins the pattern of the Julia's dance
