Chapter 4 - Exhaustion

*Edited

A weirdish freestyle poem I made when I was lamenting the responsibility that comes with growing older. Unlike my former writing, it's more about feeling tired than needing a purpose.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Lonely Queen sits on her throne,

A crown of glass and her heart cold

Her golden staff, it shines so bright,

But it does nothing to show her kingdom's plight

And in the end she knows the truth

That there's nothing to hold her youth

It's gone and lost to faraway

And she's left alone with the grey

Specters, regrets

And paying, her debts

Sometimes she thinks she sees the silhouette

Of childish juvenile fun

Of leaping under the sun

With no fear, no tears in her heart

Of lax, laidback days

Of sleeping in late

With no worry, no hurry to please

When her mother and father smiled down at her

When she knew nothing of their pain

When she had the freedom of a flying bird

When broken were her chains

But all things come to an end

And she knew she would too

Her youth disappeared, it came and went

Now she was waiting in the queue
