A/N: Ah, this was fun. Drew is one of my favorite characters from the new series. I have a sorta kinda arc in my head for this story that may or may not formulate into something coherent, we'll see. Until then, review? I do love reviews.
Happy day after Thanksgiving!
Edit: Apparently the site decided that putting random spaces in lines is totally cool. Well, who am I to argue? Especially since, you know, it just changes back as soon as I fix it. Arg.
Oh, no one loves you.
That's okay because you don't need love, you need power.
Power is strength, after all.
And strength builds walls.
Walls protect you, always have.
Exceptforonceuponatimeyouwer eyoungandinnocentandyoubelie vedinloveandthatwasallyounee ded.
Oh, they all hate you.
But, hon, do you really care?
They respect you.
Except they don't.
Well, you don't need respect.
Exceptforonceuponatimewhenno onehatedyouandfriendswerefri endsandthepainwasnonexistent .
Oh, fear is what they all feel.
AND THAT'S GREAT!
Because if your strength makes the bricks.
Then fear is the plaster.
To make the walls.
That surround you.
And protect you.

Oh, you are a queen.
Who lives in a fantastic castle.
You're surrounded by the walls.
You built yourself.
They work as a filter.
So you know.
The lies that form the lovely words I love you.
The sarcasm behind the sweet words you are wonderful.
The way the boys can't meet your eyes when you make them say the meaningful words you matter.
Exceptonceuponatimewhenevery onewashonest.
Oh, she pities you!
The dumpster queen pities you!
You!
They all love her!
They think she's wonderful!
They know – and maybe you know too – she matters!
Lies.
Lies.
Mutiny!
She's the queen now.
But she doesn't have a castle.
She lives among the people.
And you still have your walls.
Exceptonceuponatimemaybeyoua ndpipercouldhavebeenfriends.
Oh, you know those walls you hold so dearly?
Well they still surround you.
And they smother you.
And you don't need them anymore.
Because you're alone.
And the dumpster queen reigns supreme.
Maybe you could start feeling again.
But do you even know how to?
It'll be much easier to keep the walls.
Rebuild your kingdom.
And be a queen again.
