The Kingdom That is No Longer Home

There is a princesswho wears a crown of stone
Weighed down by the prejudice
of the kingdom that is no longer home


There is a princess
who wears a corset of bone
The bones of the dreamers
of the kingdom that is no longer home


There is a princess
who wears slippers of rose
Red as the wrongfully spilt blood
by the kingdom that is no longer home


There is a princess
who has a heart of glass
Shattered into many fragments
like the kingdom that is no longer home


There is a princess
who has a soul of ocean
Crashing through the vicious streets
of the kingdom that is no longer home


There is a princess
who has a voice of change
Rebuilding the tattered core
of the kingdom that is no longer home
