The Con

Sitting silent in the corner there's girl

With a calm posture

Thin smile on her face

just enough to keep the questions at bay .

Her eyes darting around the room

Seemingly observing the Chaos around her.

A lioness stalking prey.

A Mask so perfectly crafted to fool the masses around her ,

a mask to hide her internal war

If you could read her mind you'll see

she's lost in the world inside her head

Putting out fires caused by Green and Red Dragons

Seemingly immortal,

many times she thought she banished them yet they showed again out of nowhere when she least expect.

Leaving burn wounds on the flesh of her heart

Ripping apart the walls in her mind

Making her loose control of emotions and thoughts

Till she's off balance , drunk on the chaos in her mind.

How long before the fires consume her completely ?

Till the Dragons take control of her completely?

More importantly will them winning kill her or turn her into a force that won't be stopped by anything this world can throw at her?

" Yeah I am okay , promise " the words flow from her mouth with an authentically fake smile that somehow even reach her eyes add a small chuckle and her con is still in play cause no one cares to look to deep .
