untamed gardensThe vines are twisting up the walls, weeds overpower the few flowers that remain. Nearly all life has been extinguished, smothered by once beautiful bushes and never-ending weeds. The dead leaves cover the ground where grass once grew, rotten apples and peaches lay beneath their once fruit-filled trees that long ago lost the chance of being something tasty for a fruit bowl. Rosebushes so over-grown the thorns would be like skewers entering the skin to the unwary that tried to prune them. The windows are smashed, once beautiful glass lying in shards at my feet, a once beautiful house. untamed gardens

wolves"Now dun ya be goin outside, Betty Sue. Those demonic creatures will be getting ya and havin' ya for lunch if ya go strayin' off the safe zone ya daddy set up!" old Faye my nanny orders warningly.
"Are you and daddy sure they're demons? They're so pretty, and they seem so free," I whisper looking out over the frozen water. Nanny Faye walks in dropping the clothes she was holding. She grabs onto me, her fingers biting into my skin. "Now ya listen here, Betty Sue. Ya daddy will be tannin' ya hide if he hears ya spoutin' that nonsense. Those creatures are demons, ya hear? They go round stealin' livestock and babies. They kill wolves

PERFECT PRINCESS
Once upon a time
A time not long ago
There was a princess
Those who knew her marvelled at her perfection
She was the most beautiful princess in all of the lands
She had long silky hair
A fair complexion as pale as snow
She had wide eyes, ever so innocent
A red lipped luscious mouth
Her clothes were always fashionable without being to seductive
For she was the perfect princess

She watched the world through sad eyes
In her eyes the world was broken
She had so many responsibilities
Knowing she was viewed as the ultimate perfection
Feeling the pressure of having to act the part
She couldn’t be herself
Never being able to show her faults, her loneliness her imperfection
For she was the perfect princess

Tears always flowed like an angry river
They streamed down like an uncontrollable flood
But they only spilled when she was alone
Anger, fear, sorrow and helplessness rear their ugly heads
They have no outlet; they must remain hidden like a dirty secret
For she was the perfect princess

She must be there for those who seek her guidance
For those who seek her comfort
For those who seek her strength
For those who seek a moment of perfection
For she was the perfect princess

She was always the shoulder to cry on
She was always the one to depend upon
She never wanted anything for her kindness
She never swore or let her emotions be known
For she was the perfect princess

How was the world to know what was going on inside?
All we ever saw was perfection
How could we have seen her loneliness?
All we ever saw was happiness
For she was the perfect princess

Was it our fault what happened?
Should we have seen through the act?
How can someone fake such perfection?
She never complained that we were burdening her
For she was the perfect princess

She walked to the top of a tower one day
She stared over the edge
The people who depended on her becoming a distant memory
No longer caring what would happen to them, yet afraid to leave them
For she was a perfect princess

She thought pleasant thoughts of all those people
She stepped off her tower
She fell so gracefully
Even in death she looked so perfect
For she was the perfect princess

Maybe if we hadn’t burdened her with all our problems
Maybe if we had listened to hers
Maybe if we hadn’t been so self obsessed
Maybe if we had shown that we didn’t care if she wasn’t perfect
For she was not a perfect princess

She had her faults
We were too blind to see
She was so alone
We were too unfair
For she was not a perfect princess

We forgot that no one is perfect
She couldn’t handle our pressure
We forgot that everyone needs an outlet
She felt she couldn’t tell us her problems
For she was not a perfect princess

There is no such thing as perfect
Everyone has their problems
Just because someone seems like they have it all
Doesn’t mean they don’t have problems to
For there’s no such thing as a perfect princess
