Somedays, the mirror-mirror tells a lie
Hiding all of the scars that lay inside
Each scored and etched behind her cold dull eye
Remembrances of cheapened, un-earned pride
Revealing nothing more than false veneer
It casts the vampire’s shadow on the page
Exhibits in an outward fit of fear
Its own grotesque and badly hidden rage
Safe in the shelter of the alcove’s niche
A bitter refuge lair, nevertheless
Let no-one please unveil this grim pastiche
If only she could lighten her distress
And even though she kept pressing delete
Remember, rhymed acrostics are so sweet

She's a Very Freaky Girl
She rules her self-appointed jungle,
while a mumbling gaggle of followers
fan her flaming tongue,
itself a forked whisperer of vanities.
She glows with painted on courage,
orange on black, a tainted truth,
she purrs at her own petting,
wraps herself around her own gloating,
never realizing she is queen of the freak show.
