The House of Shattered Dreams

by BananaLlamaRama

A little poem inspired by Quinn's chapter in "The Secrets We Keep." It'll make more sense if you read that first, but I think it stands on its own.

Disclaimer: Glee is not mine, and for a very good reason.

Author's Note: I was reading over the first chapter of "The Secrets We Keep", and this poem popped into my head. I think it's something that Quinn would write in that little alternate universe. I always imagined her as a poet with very cursive handwriting. I may have written it, but Quinn wrote it, if that makes any sense...

The House Of Shattered Dreams by Quinn Fabray

This is the house of shattered dreams
Where what is seen is what's believed.

We grin and pose, smiles galore,
But what goes on behind closed doors?

Days of acting, nights of tears,
Masks so tight to hide the tears.

Daddy's angel, Mommy's girl,
The self I show off to the world.

Act sweet in public, pretend all's well,
Don't let them now about your hell.

Bruises and lies and tyranny,
Welcome to the house of shattered dreams.
