Final Words

My final words

Are silent pleas

That something

Will be taken from this

That after all this time

The throne will no longer stand

for you to rest upon

For your dreams

To find me

Still soaring above

Your pathetic reach

Your words being cut

By the hate of others

Your solace equal to mine

When it only comes from death

I'm doing this for you

I never wanted this

I did everything I could

To make you love me

A little more

To be like the little butterflies

Innocent and carefree

Obedient and worthy

Instead I've become the opposite

The finished painting

Perfect in every way

In the eyes of a sadistic freak

I wonder what the world will see

My name is no longer Azura

For she died long ago

Her reality fading into her dreams

Blending reality into a false world

I am Kyani

My name following a gemstone

The same color as the wings

That once surrounded me

Blanketing me in comfort

My cries heard as a song

For them to dance to

My life is gifted to those

Who run their hands

Among metal bars of their own

My experiences to be shared

As a new purpose for celebrating

The grace of independence

I've found solace.

The stars are reaching out

To guide me as I fly.

I am safe.

I am free.
