The Calico Queen

Her appearance was so chintzy
Eyes like amber full of mystery
Forever hiding in all her history

In the labyrinth of her mind a map unfolds
The secrets are a sight to behold
Showing all of her stories yet to be told

A web of connections appearing so vast
The connectome revealing all from the past
Many a black shadow had been cast

A mistake, a solecism a slip of the tongue
The start of the cycle where it had once begun
Insinuation and words were angrily flung

With words being twisted and grammar askew
She was outcast and her name made taboo
She had many secrets that no one knew

Recidivism the cycle to break
Still caught in all the web of her mistakes
A journey of redemption she’ll need to take

With each step forward she’ll reclaim
Her worth her dignity and her finally her name.
