I....

I was never a princess,

I was never a queen,

I didn’t have castles,

That’s why I never dream.

I never walked on smooth roads,

I never walked on dew,

I never had a pair of legs,

To seldom walk through.

I always had a borrowed smile,

I always lived a borrowed life,

I never let my heart open,

To let others live through.

I wanted to have castles of my own,

I wanted to have legs which I own,

I wanted to let my soul live,

But this world has always choked my throne.
