You stand there, bruised and humiliated, yet you are proud and radiate a defiant dignity.

Words laced with silver shrewdness that are a product only of you, Miss Manipulation;
These venomous syllables are the children of your barbed wire tongue, an illegal weapon that has yet to be restrained by the national government. 

Your are that voice in the back of my head, whispering snarky retorts when I'm at war; giving me the words I need to wound my opponent. 

Your are the Gothic Cinderella who shattered her slippers and traded them in for a pair of steel-toed combat boots. 
You are the Princess of Persuasion. 

You are Madam Saggy Jeans with her black bandana and her white sweat-stained tee. 

You are the wish I'd never wish for, but the path I'd always travel. 

You came into the ring like a rabid dog on a chain; a ravenous Pit bull Terrier, yet a thousand times scarier. 

You are the junkyard junkie jeering judgment at the plastic wannabe witches. 

You are the stubborn, nonchalant nonpartisan tormenting the backstabber barbies. 

You are the smart-alec angel with nicotine-scented wings and a crimson revolution banner, heaving your parables upon the ignorant. 

You are the crooked-smiled con selling faith in a bottle to the broke and hopeless. 

The essence of revolution. 

And I watch you stand there, bloody and broken, spitting swears through your teeth.
You are the shriek for rebellion. 

You are the MayDay Martyr.

Viva La Vida forever

That was amazing, you truly have a way with words. Your descriptions of this woman were so vivid and haunting, and the twists on things like princesses, and so on were surprising and unique. Also the final line  "long live the life," if my French is correct, was great. The whole piece really seemed to resonate with me, bravo!
