Thank you for entering such a passionate piece, Duice! Aries begins the astrological new year and thus the beginning of the wheel.

Thank you. I heard that quote from someone when I was young and stargazing. . .

Traits given by my will
and the star's commands
A drama queen
Admirers are my servants
but they serve against
my phony loyal burden.
While reading your desires,
I transform myself to them.
My fabulous performance
is a real and raw gift to you
Don't try to analyze me.
I've everything figured out
Read me like a book
of illustrated mystery
Black hardback, like the demon's diary
illuminating content, like the sunlight
on the dark side of the moon.
I cover mine with a veil
of dreamers' crying skin
and melodies that scream
Losing control is just a trip
I sit back and enjoy it
but I'm prone to pain
my strength attracts it for balance
or an excuse
to isolate with my projections
There is no sadness
only despair
There is no joy
only paradise
Nothing scares me really, but myself
Inside my world, millions of potential worlds co-exist
This is my front page
A mirror, baby
Can you handle the rest?
I'm a scorpio
You don't have to be afraid
You have to be yourself
Pathos and passion
are my ingredients
Don't mix with ignorance
Danger of poisoning

Congratulations to all the winners! I selected PAR because he highlighted the shadow aspects of the Crab as well as the attributes, and I honestly like that - we are all light and shadow, and only when we acknowledge that can we achieve balance. I selected HER because she personified Sagittarius, and Damian encapsulated the nature of Pisces, imho.
Thanks to all the entries! I really enjoyed learning about my fellow DUPeers!
