World Views

She wore many masks,
Depicting only what the world wanted,
Her beauty so soft,
But her façade was cold as ice,
She was hurt many times,
So she lashed out,
Became the ice queen beauty,
For that was what the world wanted,
So she changed her fragile heart,
To cold as stone,
The reputation she bares,
With a cool smile,
No one knowing all the masks she wears,
For who cares about the ice queen,
And all her secret suffering,
So the ice queen stayed on top,
On her lonely throne…
For none looked beyond,
Her reputation the world gave,
Forever in a state of pretend,
Her smile never true,
Only filled with hidden pain…
