The Illusion of My Crown

January 30, 2011 /

The illusion of my crown draws attention from those that would normally not speak.
As their minds are confused by what their eyes see

I openly let them know that my crown is an added extension of me
Freely I change its look to suit my needs

The illusion of my crown draws attention from those that would normally not speak.
My honesty brings clarity to confused minds that eyes stare in disbelief.
