Once upon a time there lived a king who had a very stressful life. His country was very small and the larger countries that surrounded it gave him constant threat of war. His country was also very poor, and even his own castle was a sad, dilapidated estate.

Because of all his problems, the King never had the interest or time to get married. But as the years went on, his advisors pleaded more and more with him to take a wife. They argued it would be for the good of the kingdom.

The King disagreed. To him, women were frail and nervous creatures, always crying and fainting. Any queen of this country would need nerves of steel to match
Break Up and DownBreak Up and Down

Rewinding to the opening scenes, I pause and find you there,
All around me, though unseen, like a rush of air

Never too large a sacrifice to give you all my time,
My demons never mattered, supposing you were fine

My own eyes I covered, to deafen your deceit,
Like a blindfold cut from my own heart, wrapped tight in a sheet

Maybe it is all my fault- I was too off key,
but I would have sat if you spoke out, you should have sung to me

You were always there with me, and then suddenly not.
I found myself alone one day, trapped inside a box.

The sea spilled out from behind my eyes and soaked through all my clothes,
I co
My PhilosophyYou question all day what's fake and what's real,
Does this exist? If I see, can it feel?

If a tree falls alone, does it make a sound you can't hear?
Are we merely puppets, caught on strings, in a world of fear?

Are our lives bound tightly to unseen fate,
or does it all depend on the choices we make?

Is something A because it is B,
or neither one, for reasons we don't see.

There are so many questions we ask in this life,
From our humble beginnings to the blade of the knife,

But of all the answers and thoughts I could give,
My best advice is to Shut Up. And Live.
LightEven blindfolded and bound at every part
You can feel the light around you hold true
So when the darkness begins to grip your heart
Reach and feel the light inside of you
The QueenThe Queen

In my place at the top I can see it all,
Held up by your quivering shoulders, I brace myself to fall.

Now as your Queen I can see through time,
Not much longer now till you too cross the line.

I feel you struggle beneath me, my weight takes its toll,
But if my heart were any lighter, I would not be suited to this roll.

I'll ask you only once, to steadfast bear the pain,
I will not cry or beg you, it would only bring us shame.

I know I ask a lot, but I promise all the more,
A star cannot shine without its sky, or an ocean with no shore.

I can see it in your eyes how often you'd trade our places,
Shifting burdens, shifting

I decided to make the mask that the "Girl in the Red Mask" wears from my fairy tale, Cinderella and Juliet: [link]

I used a plastic white mask, and reshaped it and painted it red. Then I put down A LOT of individual red "bling" crystals, and then glued three feathers to each side. It's for display only.
