Matsuri doll
Location
You see
The Empress
Queen
Regal Ruler
Perfectly poised
Demure damsel
Don't move a muscle
Don't even blink
Kashak!
One image, one perception, one pose
Forever.
This is the face you see:
My careful makeup,
perfect poise,
and Sensei's perfect wrappings.
This matsuri doll in her flawless trappings.
Now tilt your head just so,
Be careful of your bow,
and your bow...
Wear this when you eat,
Be carful to be neat!
Two sides one coin,
This beautiful matsuri doll does have.
Demure princess,
The one you see,
Devil,
Where?
There
The perfect one
almost blonde hair,
clear blue eyes.
Can't miss her.
You can miss her pain,
so carfully hidden
her unintended cruelty
her fear
The lies she tells herslef
the lies she tells the world
All to seem strong.
All to protect herself,
her heart,
Or so she'd say.
You'd miss her feigned smiles
Her petty hate
Her loves
wishes
hopes
desires
All hidden behind this flawless face,
neatly done hair,
and perfect kimono.
Can you really ever say you know her?
