I Am Expressive

A faint glimmer of fairy lights was my crown.
On my cheeks tearshaped diamonds of a pauper princess.
I am royal .
I was golden.
Quietly humble
Where have you gone confidence?
I now wear my crown of thorns.
Holly berry drops of blood adorn my hair...
On forest soil
I smell wet earth
I am not allowed inside the castle
Anymore.
The walls are up and Im too clean for them.
I shine golden alone. ..
My Prince out of my reach.
He never needed his sword
To draw my blood..
It beats deeply in my heart for him.
I fell..
From my throne
He on the pedestal above me.
Just a peasant girl
I stand behind a tree peeking out at him
My fairy lights glow
And I shine golden
With hope.
Some castles aren't home.
I am wild and free in the woods
My hair like the bonfire flames.
I am on fire.
