as a child
she wore a crown
of plastic and fake jewels
head held high
the world an insignificant speck
at her tiny feet
her dolls, they bowed
faces grazing the ground
in her mind she saw people in their place
trembling in her wake

as a teenager
she was untouchable
full of quick smiles
and evil lies
laden with sunshine
