A Lioness In the Lair

She looked at the other side 
of herself
The ferocious face that everyone would hide
she looked at her other  book on the shelf
So brave she is , her world is wide
the hidden things within are her power and pelf
A lioness in the royal liar,she lied
untamed , untidy and this is the best of her side
small it is, as if she is haunted by a wild elf
A wall it is, unseen and from the snide
world outside; she would eternally hide
