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.
