red queen

I want to be

the

Cruel type of

Beautiful--

 

with my lips dripping

Blood and my dress

Trailing jewels,

My insecurities hidden between each

Fold of silk, saying

"I can **** if I must//"

but I won't

 

The kind where

after crying  

my eyes are red-

(Not from sadness

But)

from anger and dissociation,

and people fear what I have not said--

With my  

heart stitches torn open, and ink

Seeping through

 

and I'll never have to

Apologize.
