Thieves of monopoly
Bottom of all I had been
Standing alone with joy on my face,
Mask in my physical form,
Pain in my heart.
Thy shall these people who had lived
With laughter in my back.
Sharp swords had a yield,
Left a mark on my pail back.
Leaving no blood stain in
There shining swords.
Cut into two.
Yet here I am still putting back
Every piece they had once cut.
O, thy shall my name and spirit
Stands strong in these unholy lies,
Within my trust is now sealed like gold.
About this poem
Those who had been seeking lies in this dear girl's back, and always backstabbing her. Yet, she still stands strong and keeps on fighting.
