Velveteen Eyes
Velveteen eyes
As dishonest
as glamorous
Refuse to hold
Significance
To all your pride
Glistening gold
Sweaty crown
On your head
When all your
Rags abound
Might as well be dead
Simply just a mirror
To all those
Who won't be seen
With nothing else
Original
You dedicate yourself a queen
Seamless illusion
Hard to despise
But it comes easy
with velveteen eyes
