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 3 /12 and entitled it
"Me. I Am Mariah."
Please don't judge me for such a simplistic title...
C'mon!! I was only 3 1/2 haha
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
Been through a lot, but I've always known Me... I am Mariah
Along the way, there have been a couple of nicknames
(Mimi)
And I've inadvertently embodied many personas
(Butterfly)

Lately, they've been calling me
The Elusive Chanteuse
(I like it)
