How She Feels

Paper Queen

She is a Queen

But not like the rest of them

She is not a paper copy

Sent to the world to be

Just glanced at and s h r e d d e d

Her spirit grabs the world

From its d e s p a i r

And for a second it smiles

Just like the sun

Turning the b r o k e n hearts to gold

But Sadly she is not

rewarded for her kindness

handed nothing but

Sorrow and grief but still

She s p r e a d s around

The kindness of her being

So her jewels are present

in the suffering of past memories

Regrets she believes

No one should face

Loss that begs her to hide her face

Her mask is of her very own making

A dazzling smile that never

Shows the beginnings of tears

Still with a Sacred grin,

She can calmly bare her soul

Covering herself

In love for those who

Never love her

But she grasps that this is just life

You don't always get what you give

And you don't always find what you seek

But you can always find a smile
