and you thought you were invited that you could ring the bell that you had been accepted by the leader of the ring whose influence was sure to bring liars and cheats to your feet bestowed upon your being the very smile that made you real the very reason to stand upright a commendation that took years of petty fights and stinging tears space trash satellites trying to catch the sun tonight but on arrival you are slighted with the subtlest of grins cause the cousin and the confidante will never let you win it s just too thin this skin you re in well come out of your hiding spot we all know that you re there and we re wondering is this really all you ve got as you barter with your fists and leave us taking all the risks sycophants sidekicks taking out the new tricks and when you finally are granted this position of command do you really want to stay here in the company of the damned as they prepare to take your hand torment with true ambition even eating is a competition maybe i would understand more if i was underhand and waited by the side lines to trip her up and watch her land but i do not crave calamity no i can only stand and stare and wonder what she ll do when there s no one left to spare so lonely in her lair
