Tess sparkled
Mitchie shined
There's a difference
Believe it or not
Tess blinded everyone
By her "beauty"
Yea, that's what she told herself
And she actually believed it
Mitchie shined
But not as bright as Tess
She didn't demand the spotlight
That Tess required
She didn't mind
Being mentioned second
To Tess
Because it's always been
{S P A R K L E
&
shine}
Always second
And Tess
Never let poor Mitchie forget it
At a sleepover
She would toss her pillow playfully
"Wake up, Mitch.
Time to {S P A R K L E & Shine}."
Mitchie would smile
And nod
Because she knew what Tess was doing
And it no longer hurt her
She didn't mind
Being second
Because with the friend's and family she had
She knew that she was first
But being the little angelic figure she is
She let Tess feel good about herself
Because Tess didn't have that great a family
And she shined far too bright for her friends
Mitchie let Tess go on thinking
That she had hardly any friends
Because they were jealous of how brightly she sparkled
But Mitchie knew the truth
And that certainly wasn't it
But Mitchie was accustomed to
The conduct of
{S P A R K L E
&
shine}
Syndrome
And lets it go
Because she has everything she ever wanted
While Tess has nothing
Mitchie has Shane
Tess has her one-night-stand
Mitchie has Connie
Tess has her nanny
Mitchie has Caitlyn
Tess has backup
Mitchie has songs of feeling
Tess has "songs of feeling"
That she paid someone else to "feel" for her
So you see?
You really have it all
When you have less
Sometimes
But Mitchie let Tess play pretend
For as long as she wanted
Because it made Tess feel good
To know
That
{S P A R K L E}
Came before
{shine}
