The masses

Cry out, their

Jeers and cheers 

Pervading the air. 

The world trembles

As I stand and I will

That I won’t lose my balance.

My voice

Magnified, 

My face without

A blemish,

I stand firm

Stiff, strong

A fickle girl hiding

Behind the hologram

Of an angel.

Judgment day has come.

I’m wearing my evening best.

Just got a new dress that I really like, and I thought of this :)
