The birth of a queen

Okay princesses! So we've all faced moments where we feel that death is the only way out. Here'a an absolutely brief account of one such incident-a betrayal faced by a princess and how she handles it.

She lay there wishing fervently for physical death
Knowing that heartbreak had made her die within
She was the princess who had been overthrown
Ousted in a plot hatched by her most trusted adviser.

...And she still loved him! Loved that traitor!...
..No wonder death felt like the only escape...

But when death came, she fought like a warrior;
The warrior that she had been born
And that was the moment things changed forever.

From the remains of the shattered princess,
Sprang up a queen who knew her worth and might
She laughed as she raged a battle and was victorious
The castle was under her supreme command from then.
She knew she'd have to build a moat and a fortress -
Necessary protections that she'd overlooked the last time.

She took on the job of protecting the castle herself now
Locked up the drawbridge to her heart and hid the key safely.
No intruder was ever getting past her again.

Author's Note

I'm a feminist at heart and I'm just trying to spread the message to other girls that we are special and strong. Never let a false friend or lover undermine your confidence in yourself. Rise again. You are capable of creating wonders. Believe in yourself, queens! :)

I love love LOVE this piece. I especially could relate to this lately after getting out of an emotionally abusive relationship in which he cheated. But out of it I've become a MUCH stronger person and I love that you're spreading this message to other girls. Especially the younger and teen girls on this site. Often broken relationships can lead us to people who actually deserve our love, but most importantly it can lead us to love ourselves. Thank you so much for writing this and I will definitely be adding it to my favourites!

Thank you so so much for this review. It really made my day. :)
And I absolutely agree with you about broken relationships making us love ourselves. I just hope all females realise how special they all are. Cheers! :)
