Here is the plot description for “Black Swan”:
Nina (Natalie Portman) is a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life – like all those in her profession – is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother, Erica (Barbara Hershey), who exerts a suffocating control over her.
When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) for the opening production (“Swan Lake”) of their new season, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Mila Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well.
“Swan Lake” requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan (with innocence and grace) as well as the Black Swan (who represents guile and sensuality). While Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly, Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side, which is a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

Mostly
I’d have to say it’s mostly white swan but once in a while the black swan rears it’s ugly head.
The Eraser
I keep thinking of Thom Yorke’s song Black Swan:
“I am your black swan, black swan
But I made it to the top, but I made it to the top
And this is f**ked up, f**ked up”
Black Swan
There is definitely both in me, I just show people the one they want to see when I’m around them.
True Me
Both, but a lot of my actions fall more towards my black swan.

Some days its mostly white swan with a little black swan. Some days its mostly black swan with a little white swan.

White Swan/Black Swan
It depends on how I’m treated. I would like to think it’s wise to take the high road, but it is not always how things work out. During the holidays especially, I feel extremely undermined by others. We should feel happy and renewed at this time, so why does it become stressful?
