The Xfactor Gg Contest

Turn on the lights so I can see the tears
Touch my heart so I can SEE those hands

     Biting my nails to the quick
     My hair short for cleansing 
     Suspended on thin air
     All I am is only bare

          Tears left marks on my face
               A camera shot
               A remembrance 
          Down memory lane where I became the xfactor
          My four pains, my four struggles, my four strengths, my four victories 

Today each blood vessel dances at it pumps through 
Today each pore on my skin breathes new air
Today the scars on my back give me a sense of beauty
