Take a good look at her. 

Every strand of her hair falls in the right place.

Every smile isn’t an inch tope wide nor too narrow. 

Every gesture is artistic. 

Every word is philosophical. 

Every sound proceeding her mouth is a symphony. 

Every step she takes is identical, falling in a choreographed rhythm.

A true black swan.

But why don’t we look once more? 

You can now see the corner of her lips falter for a millisecond. 

You can now see her fidgeting with a loose thread of her dress. 

You can now see her eyes trembling. 

You finally hear her voice crack faintly at the end of her sentences. 

You hear a slight stutter in her words. 

You just notice the beads of sweat running down her neck. 

So what exactly are you watching? 

Your eyes are beholding a performance of her life and she’s an Oscar winning actor.
