Maria's Letter to Malvolio Rewrites by B4...
Nobody knows who I love, but God. I get what I want, but keeping this in is killing me. If you get this, think about it. I am obviously better than you, but don't be afraid! Some people are just great, some people work for it, and some are blessed.
You're a nice guy. Embrace others. Be who you are and don't get discouraged. Shine!
State your opinions. Adopt your own personality, original characteristics.
She wants what's best for you. Don't forget this!
Go! You're amazing, if you want to be. If you're not going to try, I'll look elsewhere...
McKenzie &; Karlee, B4

Katy Perry's Pearl
She is a pyramid
But with him she's just a grain of sand
This love's too strong like mice and men
Squeezing out the life that should be let in
But with him she's just a grain of sand
Squeezing out the life that should be let in
She was a hurricane
But now she's just a gust of wind
She used to set the sails of a thousand ships
Was a force to be reckoned with
But now she's just a gust of wind
She used to set the sails of a thousand ships
Was a force to be reckoned with

She could be a statue of liberty
She could be Joan of Arc
She could be Joan of Arc
But he’s scared of the light that’s inside of her
So he keeps her in the dark
Oh she used to be a pearl
Ohh yeah she used to rule the world
Ohhhh can't believe she’s become a shell of herself
Cause she used to be a pearl
She was unstoppable
Moved fast as like an avalanche
But now she’s stuck deep in some man
Wishing that they never ever met
She could be a statue of liberty
She could be a Joan of Arc
But he’s scared of the light that’s inside of her
So he keeps her in the dark
(Chorus)
Do you know that there’s a way out
There’s a way out
There’s a way out
There’s a way out
You don’t have to be held downBe held down
Be held down
Be held down
Cause I used to be a shell...Yeah I let him rule my world
My world Ohhh yeah
But I woke up and grew strong and I can still go on
And No one can take my pearl
You don’t have to be a shell No
You’re the one that rules your world Ohh
You are strong and you’ll learn
That you can still go on
And you’ll always be a pearl
She is unstoppable
