I know it's a mask I know it's a game You're a liar We are all liars You pretend in front of the world I know the real you We're bitter rivals even until the end We laugh and smile at the world masquerading our feud as trivial matter However, behind closed doors it's an all out war! The two halves of you are deliberately parted If the world knew who you truly are and what you do All memory of you would be instantly shamed and your good name would be tarnished - forever ruined I know you; a girl with a humble start You came from nothing ​You've clawed, lied, cheated, and schemed You've broken hearts and did damage It's ok; we've all done it at some point in our lives We are all despicable and wretched souls You are Joan I'm Bette Our feud is so bitter, toxic, and complicated that its intangible yet pure palpable I don't know how it all will end, all I know is this: Golden rule of life: never underestimate your rivals.

Rivals
Howard Robard Hughes Famously rich recluse Dreams led him to the lap of luxury Followed by nightmarish mysophobic OCD Rich ******* aviator Howard Hughes With movie starlets kept himself amused Dated Katherine Hepburn Bette Davis took her turn And still more, which kept the tabloids confused Born Howard Robard Hughes to a rich family With English, Welsh and French Huguenot ancestry Enjoyed a successful multi-faceted business career But aviation and aerospace were his favorite frontier
