Rule number one is there are no rules aug 26, 2012

 

 yes she knows the game

a skeptic who stepped into it

with her eyes wide open

 apart of a longer history

she recounts

 a Cinderella who

 wants particularly for

 the 13th hour

 do church bells chime once

 or 13 times

knowing how far she can go

if she ought to go so far

a hip chick in the mist of madness

 she believes she can steer through

 on her way to fame

 if only she can keep some of us

 from blocking the way

 she has always known the game

and the rules which is

there are no rules

in the end

like that of musical chairs

 the only way to win

is to occupy the last seat

 when the music finally stops

smart, talented and necessarily ruthless

you only get what you want

by taking it

by any means necessary
