There's a war going on,
Between the person I want to be
And the person
I'm afraid of becoming.
One is a Queen of Hearts
Who fights for those she loves.
She brings a smile
To everyone's face
And love is her greatest weapon.
The other is a Joker
Who lies, cheats, and steals.
A master at manipulation
That only cares about herself.
The battle scars I wear,
Are all internal.
This war is inside my head
And it's been going on for years.
A constant struggle
That controls my life.
When one side wins a battle,
It changes who I am.
As a Joker,
I am cold and apathetic.
I couldn't care less what you think
And you become a pawn in my game.
As a Queen,
I am quiet and distant.
I fear that I'll hurt you.
So in order to protect you,
I push you away.
And the Queen isn't careless.
She thinks before she acts.
And maybe she'd win,
But unfortunately for her
The Joker is stronger.
