You've all known someone like this I'll bet, pretty on the outside and vile on the inside....this isn't about me, i sincerely hope
I present a calm face to the world
Smile, benign
Hiding the shrew inside
Hurling vindictive words in all directions

Never missing a step
While the bitch inside runs rampant
Slowing only when she must
And then only to begin anew
With fresh venom
And inspired rhetoric
Smiling outwardly, Madonna like
I hide the witch within
Presenting a calm face to the world

Doing nails and hair is too much effin' work! ;-)
