I am the queen of eggshells
castles built upon whispers,
our horses tiptoe around voices,
so that these shells don't wake the sleeping dragon.

I am the queen of stillness
rooms fill with hush from my presence,
covered mouths hide the laughter,
from the 2-faced masks of the children.

I am the queen of foresight
elephants are chained to the floors,
they scream visions we all see,
but we only laugh.

This is a kingdom of lies
we live in shambles, rusted metal is painted anew,
together we crumble upon gift-wrapped cobblestones,
buried beneath our stitched smiles.
Holy shit I haven't submitted anything in YEARS.

Basically, this is about people spreading rumors or just plain talking about you behind your back. People walk on eggshells around you because they have dirt on you or dislike you, and people stop talking when you enter a room because they've been talking about you.

Everyone is fake nowadays. I don't know a single person who doesn't say one thing to my face and then something else behind my back. Well, that's not true. I know a few people who are genuine. But for the most part, everyone is fucking fake.
