lol, here it is. hope it's okay ~
roses are red, violets are blue, this whole game was simply the faintest of illusions
rose is also the name of a young wanderer, otherwise known as me.
everything is an illusion
anymore, that's the business i'm now,
illusions and trickery and everything else
it's made me slightly paranoid and relatively distrustful
i'm rather hard to convince because, after all,
it might just be a l i e for all we k n o w,
work with illusions enough and it's what happens to you, my dear.
not that i dislike my power , it's rather...entertaining?
stimulating?
interesting?
perfect for me?
i don't know if i can live in this world so i better create one of my own?
i guess that's it. i'm not good at being cruel
just because i do have a conscience, despite my many thorns
and at the same time i'm not going to be a h e r o
i don't know if you're worth saving.
if i can't really save myself
then what makes you think i can save you?
i'm a wanderer, going from place to place
looking for perfection and hoping against hope that what i find isn't
going to s l i p away
as though it were just an illusion, just a dream,
i can only create my desires through illusion when i really want
it all to be
real.
what can i say? i'm greedy and selfish
and my skin is probably tinged green by now,
i'm so goddamned jealous.
every rose hasitsthorns
and i guess i have a lot, hmm?
so does everyone else.
i might have superpowers -hushedvoices-
but i'm still very much human on the inside,
and i look both ways before crossing the street,
and i fold napkins into neat little swans and cranes and everything else.
have i come off as a terrible person?
i'm really not one. really, i'm not.
i'd run into a burning building to save the ones i love
unfortunately there don't seem to be a lot,
which is also rather unfortunate.
i'm afraid to say that if you were looking
to place me in a neat little category
you'd be very much mistaken to do so
and it would be a waste of your time.
for i am the illusionist, the paranoid, distrustful illusionist,
the young girl who played with dolls and wrote stories,
hoping to create her own worlds, -
which she did through her own illusions
who then, a decade or two later, ended up wandering again,
searching for belonging,
who really couldn't try to categorize herself
because the sad truth is,
she doesn't really know, isn't sure if she is
a villain
or
a hero
some days they seem so
goddamn similar.
