Paroles de Me. i am mariah... the elusive chanteuse

On the back cover of this album is a personal treasure
This is my first and only self-portrait
I drew it when i was three and a half and entitled it
"me. i am mariah."
Please don't judge me for such a simplistic title
Come on, i was only three and a half

It was a creative visualisation of how i saw myself
With the purity of a child's heart before it was ever broken
I've kept this drawing private for so long
But because this album is a reflection
Of some of the peaks and valleys that have made me who i am today
I've decided to share it with those of you who actually care
And have been here for me through it all
I've been through a lot, but i've always known me
I am mariah

Along the way there have been a couple of nicknames
And i've inadvertently embodied many personas
Lately, they've been calling me
"the elusive chanteuse"
I like it
