Disclaimer: I don't own the Worst Witch
A/N: *waves* Hey folks, this is just a little something I came up with while watching the Big Fat Quiz of the Year (David and Miranda are hysterical! I've got more questions right than they have, and that is saying something!)
It's not perfect, but I couldn't get this out of my head so hope you enjoy it :)
Mask
She wears a mask
Not in the literal sense, like a young child on Halloween
For this is a mask, that cannot be seen
Just because it isn't visible, doesn't mean it isn't there
Just because she wears it, doesn't mean she doesn't care
Most of the time it remains, perfectly in place
Allowing her to portray herself with elegance and grace
Concealing her emotions, she hides behind the strict, cold façade
Mourning the life and the childhood she wishes she had never had
Heckitty Broomhead is the cause of it all
The reason she was forced to build a wall
A wall around her emotions, a wall around her feelings
Punishing herself daily, and never fully healing
Only when she's alone, the barrier does fall
And crumbling around her, lies the remains of her wall.
The emotional scars she bears cut deep
Nightmares and horrific memories invade her sleep
As the time passed by grew longer, the walls became so much stronger
The impenetrable barrier, near impossible to break through
And now she doesn't know what to do
For she has no idea how to begin anew
She knows she viewed as the Ice Queen of the school
She knows they see her as bitter and cruel
However every so often the mask will slide
Giving a glimpse of the vulnerable woman who lies behind
The woman who is crying out for help and is in need of saving
The woman who seems so close to breaking
Instead she pushes everyone away
Choosing to deal with things in her own way
Deep down she does care for them all: her colleagues and the students alike
To protect them, she really would fight.
Fight to protect the family she never had
Fight for the family, for which she truly is glad
She wears a mask
Not in the literal sense, like a young child on Halloween
For this is a mask, that cannot be seen
