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.
