The lady at number 6
Some throw their well-intentioned pity around like glitter
thinking it will brighten her disposition
Others can’t resist the urge to mutter behind her back:
Single, smoking hot but strange
Witch
Bitch
She speaks about things they don’t understand
She dabbles in a little bit of everything but still remains mysterious
She dares to bare her mind only in drops…and only on her own terms
She mingles with those people they don’t like
They are so distracted by who she might be that they don’t realise who she is
and she is perfectly fine with that
let the fools entertain themselves with the circus they’ve created
She muses
She knows her true power lies in her secrecy
this secrecy that cloaks the masterpiece she’s working on within her chambers
let them keep thinking she has nothing going for her
she sneers
Time will do the talking
and they will all be shocked beyond belief.
