Marie Antoinette: The Bird of Versailles

Misplaced to Versailles

A girl of Vienna.

A foreign bird in a cage

Tied before I could fly.

I am watched in my cage

See my breath, hear my speak.

I buy my escape in gowns and in jewels,

Madame of Deficit,

Monster to all.

Captured so soon

Just as I fly

Head to be given for my being me

Pardon me, but I did not do it on purpose
