The deck was stacked against me <br />It was right from the start, <br />I got dealt the Joker <br />I should have had the King of Hearts. <br />But now... <br />I am free! <br />I can breathe again, <br />My throat no longer being crushed <br />By the hand of a Knight. <br />My heart is mine! <br />No longer ripped apart <br />By the hand of a Knave. <br />I found laughter again, <br />No longer am I played <br />At the hands of a Joker. <br />I am alive again... <br />I am the Queen of Hearts.<br /><br />Irina Whitford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/free-52/
