Everyone said she was just like her mother

with her

cherrycherryred

hair, and her

chocolatechocolatebrown

eyes, and

littleloveheart

lips.

They said she was the definition of a perfect daughter

Mummy's model,

Daddy's girl.

But she wasn't all pretty face and

g_a_p_p_y_g_r_i_n

She always knew what she wanted

and she always knew how to get it.

When she went to Hogwarts,

No one was surprised she got into Gryffindor

but herself.

She secretly thought she was a Slytherin like Albus

-but you know what they say-

Maybe we sort too soon?

Oh, she was a

prettylittleliar

but no one suspected it

because someone with a face that innocent

couldn't be a liar, could they?

Time and again, she lied

.r.e.f.u.s.i.n.g.r.e.f.u.s.i.n.g.r.e.f.u.s.i.n.g.

to tell the truth.

As she grew _up_

she blossomed.

She was pretty,

She was popular,

She was perfect,

And she acted like she didn't need any of that

But the truth was, she did.

The truth was,

She was insecure,

She was introverted,

She was inadequate,

And that was why she lied

To cover up all her .i.m.p.e.r.f.e.c.t.i.o.n.s.

Her lies were like her makeup

Spread thickly all over so no one saw

the real Lily.

-her makeup and her lies-

-her tools and her weapons-

To defend herself against anyone who thought ((knew)) she was less than perfect.

And those cherry-red love-heart lips

Formed around so many lies

She was manipulative, and she knew it

All the girls wanted to be her ::friend::

All the boys wanted to be her !boyfriend!

All the women wanted to be her /mummy/

All the men wanted to be her \daddy\

But she didn't want to be {herself}.

Her lying was compulsive, a reaction

She just couldn't

S-T-O-P.
