Red Queen

RED QUEEN

 

Red Queen with the black heart

Ruler Queen with a cold soul and iron fist

A wicked witch they call you,

Behind your back, wagging tongues that throw sharp daggers at your soul.

Cut eyes made under bowed heads when in your presence

Frightened bunnies that cower under your sharp whip tongue.

 

Laughed and ridiculed at for your uneven proportions.

Never as good as her

Beautiful and perfect she haunted your dreams.

Feelings of inadequacy stoned an otherwise soft heart.

Loneliness and hate your best friends

Spoke to you everyday behind palace walls

Sat alone in your study and learned the king’s war plans.

And when the time came

Perfection overthrown…

Your reign Supreme.

 

Red Queen with a sorrow filled breast.

The whole kingdom feels your wrath,

Meaner than your black jabberwocky

Beheadings in abundance

Still joy eludes your grasping claws.

Not when Alice...with her blonde hair and beauty came into your kingdom.

She stole your dark knight, killed your beloved pet…

Banishment was what awaited you.

 

Red Queen deserted in the far sand.

A hollowed heart that never knew joy.

How could they blame you for your detest?

They drove you to this.

 

Red Queen with the forever black heart

The over thrown ruler Queen with a shattered soul and worn down fist.

They cheered when the witch was dead.

Your name was crossed off their list.

As a child, I loved Alice in Wonderland. I used to wonder if the other characters had a story! Wonderful poem of the more human side of The Red Queen!! Love this poem!!

This perfectly described the red queen and I find it strange that i found this poem when i'm supposed to be practicing singing a song from the movie. XP Great write!
