Scarlet

Scarlet is a villain,

her nails are red and long,

Her lips are red as well

Her perfume is rather strong,

She wears pretty boots of leather,

But her nails are laced with venom,

Her victims would scream if she'd only let them.

Scarlet is scary, her hair is long and black,

She wears dark colored dresses everywhere,

with a V-cut in the back,

Scarlet is never seen so you may ask why I wrote this.

because she took me away,

but I hid this before she noticed.

About the Creator

Kaitlynn

I love to write because I believe in the bravery of putting out works to inspire. But more importantly, I believe in the bravery it takes to speak up for those whose stories deserve to be heard and truths that must be revealed.
