oh clara 5.20.25 (4:52 pm / 16:52) oh clara bow oh clara of the spotlights oh clara of the silent tears oh clara only remembered in black and white
clara who could cry on camera just by thinking of when you were younger
clara underpaid and overworked by hollywood
oh clara i feel like i might know you oh clara of seeing in only gray and black and white
oh clara who were you oh clara were you ever seen? did you ever have a chance, to see this world for yourself or were you always looking through an invisible girl’s eyes
oh clara of happiness and hope oh clara of falling
clara of going crazy, i see you oh clara i understand
clara of being abandoned, you’ll never know i can wish a thousand times but you’ll never know what a change you made
you’re the greatest thing we’ve lost
oh clara clara clara clara of the light clara of pretending, open the door come out, clara
come here and let me hold you
[playing: clara bow by taylor swift]
for all the girls who were seen but not seen, for all the women taken advantage of by the entertainment, theatre, or music industries, for all the girls exploited abused or taken advantage of by male peers and coworkers and managers and for every clara bow past and present and future
for taylor swift, who wrote the song clara bow and of course for clara, if only you knew
