Gnarly Princess

Silence loaded
With some concoction
Of apathy 
Disdain 
Entitlement
An attitude that screams
”It’s all about me
I don’t care much about anyone else”

That empty glare blatantly defiant
That glows in the dark
A humongous neon sign
Flashing in big red letters
“I choose the few I care about
And that’s not you
I’m going to make your life hell”

Dark princess with devil horns
And chunks of coal for a heart
You may still be fooling some
But not me ~

No wonder there's a shortage of princes these days! Sounds like she should marry herself, if she can stand the thought of it! :) Gershon

Or... just lock her up in a tower. LOL Thanks, Gershon.
