The Queen of Deceit

Under the sheets of emotional armor,

A shy little girl masquerades as a martyr.

She’s the Queen of Deceit with her lies getting smarter,

While every tale told draws her self even farther

From finding out why she’s emotionally bothered

By all of the men in her life: like her father

Who only was trying the best for his daughter

And striving to be something more than a pauper

But coming up short. Who knows how much harder

He’d try if she wasn’t an argument starter?

The guilt and the shame from the family slaughter

Has made her insane and continues to bar her

From finding out just what the world has to offer.

 

Luckily she won’t have to be here much longer;

In fairy-tale land, there's nothing can harm her.

 

She suddenly finds herself all alone

With nobody’s thoughts to address but her own.

This is the time when she’d pick up the phone,

Demanding a savior to hear her bemoan

About all the problems that she’s ever known,

But what she doesn’t know is a friend can’t atone

For the lack of a man with his patience to loan

To a lost little girl whose bad temper is known.

All she needs is a strong one that doesn’t condone

All the treacherous lies and the hatred she’s shown.

It’s hard to deny all the reaping she’s sewn.

She’ll have to tread soft lest her cover is blown

And everyone finds out she still hasn’t grown

Through the hundreds of tempers and tantrums she’s thrown.

Hopefully soon she can bury the bone

And calm herself into a nostalgic zone

Where smiles and candles were filling her home

And love and affection were all that was loaned.

 

Enlightenment comes when you realize you’re prone

To the wrath of the heartache that comes with the throne.
