I wish I could sing better, as rooms would crowd up just for my voice to fill in the last possible spots and space. But it's not my choice, envying those who seem vocally perfect. I'll sing for myself in corners of the world and I'll enjoy it but the feeling that no one will ever like the sound as much as a star's, breaks more of my insides than my voice does other people's ears. I'm not made to sing, enchant your hearing, make you ling- er, make you stare, make you dazzled with confusion. His voice, or hers, it makes me feel these tingling sensations allover the skin of my back, all my hairs rise. I want to do that to the necks of listeners. I lost so much, even this, even though I never had it. Make me humble again, return it. I'll be lonely on my school ball, I'll cry and watch some streams, making their way wherever they want to. But I can enjoy the sadness, I'm getting used to being useless.

Do you wanna build a snowman? The cold does bother me...
