Feisty as a tiger
Command of a lioness
With the cheshire cat's smile

She’s a brown eyed queen of hearts
Heir to the throne
Always balancing between decisions

She has a dark brown mane
Wonderfully wild with
A serious swagger in her step.

Told...

I was once alive,
Within this plane of existence.
Displaying my mighty fighting skills
Flowing like water, I hit as hard as a rock.
How their radiant eyes gleamed, 
Watching me, observing me.
Viewing my furious battles between thee,
I sink...

I lose count and let the tears hit the floor

however, the average observer would probably see me as...

Naked


No lies.
No exaggerations.
No phoniness.
No fakes.
No makeup.
No heels.
No hose.
Will you still have me?

Naked and unmasked.
With only my fears and insecurities to shelter me.
Vulnerable and open, full of flaws, but only aware of some.
Will...
