If the King does not lead, how does he expect his subjects to follow?


All that remains…
Or perhaps all that ever was…
As the other pieces of me burn away,
Crushed beneath the feet of others,
stomped away so I shall not spread,
I still exist here.
I remain me.

With the useless armor I adorned
to the point I became unrecognisable
I feel I can finally see my true face.
A face once hidden by masks,
Is now revealed to be made of masks.
A face fitting for the person I am.
A torrent of faces that change with the wind,
Now stripped down to one.

I am all thats left now,
For I am no longer the blazing fire I once was,
I am simply embers of what once was.
But I know…
Even Embers can start a flame.

The title was all I knew when I started writing this. I was in a sort of trance, and just started writing until I found an end. Simple writer's mood.
