Zendaya

I know a name but is a name enough to know the story behind it Is it wrong that I crave to know the mystery or is it wrong to say it how I phrased it So let me retry... Elegantly creative her name springs up a harmony a thousand birds living under a lush canopy yes, her name is known but what of her personality but what of her person a secret only she is aware yet I want to be the one to dare to explore but the only thing we have in common We're strangers to each other A screen shades her presence gasping in delight while the bright light compliments her gracious appearance while I sit crushed under bright weighted smile Though I can't help but think is it fake, plastic or is it mine What crosses her mind when camera calls for a close up In her mind does she sigh silently to no one silently swears the pressure is too much where is a knight to rescue me or is it more like 'maybe once this is over I'll be on my own let me call up my friends I need to enjoy the city tonight' I can't help it, I'm curious It's a harmless fairytale attraction Zendaya, Zendaya you're my celebrity crush yes I admit it but I'm at the back of the line so I guess I'll take a number while you hope for silence and I pray for rain to help you sleep calmly tonight Why was it you calling to me in a dream somehow attracted to me but I just wrote it off as what it seems a dream... but here it is, a trapeze this highwire, and I am the side attraction gambling with fate as I try to cross the line between universes But this isn't about me this is about you, your angelic voice... Well what more is there left to say I write to live so with my dying breath I fall silent and whisper your name in hopes you unfold your angel wings fly down from your world float down to mine resurrect me from wherever I land whisper one simple word for me to embrace whisper one word for me to smile and rise back to life ...Hi
