the queen of illusion

they thought Sheila was timid and timorous
she fooled them with her quietude
and her lack of participation in family debates

no one saw her as cunning or diabolical
no one saw her at all
she became as invisible as a broom

until she destroyed the entire family
with knowledge of their covert operations
she was formidable now

the queen of illusion
