a painting of a woman standing in a room

The Empress

I must confess,

I’m actually quite stressed,

To fit in my dress.

Finely pressed, I store it in my closet.

The ideal image of myself,

The key is tucked next to my breast.

I will put it to the test,

Unlock the chest,

Try on the dress,

And smile like The Empress.
