Fuchsia life overcomes me

Laving in your excellence, I cradle splendor in my hand

Excising oppressive clouds, the sun showers its approval

Releasing you at last, to let you live out your beauty

You’ll never be good enough, you said

You’ll always be crazy, you said

You’ll never be happy, you said

Guess what…you were wrong
