The Famous Temper

There was a lady bard,
quiet by nature,
lurking in the shadows
until she lost her temper.
Always speaking before she thinks,
when her ire is high,
she curses her parents
for this unhappy trait.
That night she didn't stop to think
and said some things she didn't mean.
Feeling used, feeling betrayed,
she let her anger speak for her.
She wished with all her heart
that she could take it back.
She didn't mean for things
to end the way it did.
Too afraid to take the first step,
she sings this song to the stars.
Hoping someday things will be alright,
hoping her pain will end.
