Many shun me for how I look.
Yet envy me for how I think.
But I'm just like the stars -
My Youth arises from the brink
And up it goes to the horizon!

Look at the burning constellation
As they emit their gleaming rays
And radiate a passionate fervor...
Transient, only lasting for days
It's time I shine bright!

Stare at me deeply through the night
And find that my gaze's a labyrinth
That enraptures your every attention
That I was ugly was just a myth...
I just age like fine wine!

Before we run out of time,
You'll find my Pandora's box
With curiousity creeping in,
You excitedly open its lock
And find my darkest secret.

Love. Will you take me?
