[2015] Behind The Scenes

    
Listen to her moan  
n wail, simply to no avail  
in sadness more so than malice    
   
No one sees her standing there    
Did anyone ever really care    
about poor little Alice?  
 
No!    
Always lacking in attention    
eager for either parent's affection    
   
Never did she grow up to understand    
Never did she come to know    
what love means    
 
And she continues to roam    
the house that strangers after strangers    
call their home    
   
What few years of life  
she was blessed with    
continued behind the scenes;    
   
decades of a shaded existence    
wandering in a catacomb    
taking refuge from wicked
stepmothers and Red Queens    
   
Bedtime stories she couldn't even read    
Without warm smiles tucking her in bed    
No kind souls to give her whatever  
she might need or to tell her    
   
she is fucking dead
