Irina Whitford - Free

The deck was stacked against me
It was right from the start,
I got dealt the Joker
I should have had the King of Hearts.
But now...
I am free!
I can breathe again,
My throat no longer being crushed
By the hand of a Knight.
My heart is mine!
No longer ripped apart
By the hand of a Knave.
I found laughter again,
No longer am I played
At the hands of a Joker.
I am alive again...
I am the Queen of Hearts.
