FRIENDS

I am not a queen because I rule, I rule because I am THE QUEEN.

Birthed in my heart. Alive in my veins…

‘I have always loved pretty dresses so that while in them, I can endlessly gaze at my reflection.

Yes, I’m vain in that regard.

Besides, what else was there to do?

Loved pretty sheets so I could lay on them and hope to have pretty dreams.

Pretty dreams… I never had… I never will.

I have come to accept this now.

And it’s not just because I haven’t had a pretty dress to wear in a long time or because I haven’t laid my back on any pretty surface – or any surface at all - in a long while.

But because my hope to live a free life was killed beneath the pretty shoes of someone much more powerful than I am.

I have come to accept this now.

And because I should never have trusted Z…

No.

My mind won’t call his name.

My heart won’t know his voice.

My soul… will never pine for his existence.

I have come to accept this now.
