The Once Defeated Queen

My power grows ever  strong

This fact no one can ever deny.

What once was broken inside me

Is now mended and wants to fight.

Those who love me will suffer...

I'm taking back my throne.

My heart, center of my kingdom

Wants me to rule all alone.

Haha this sounds like a fight!
A hurt but resolved Queen yet a self-centred character - hard to love methinks. Many through history have felt this way and history has begrudgingly admired their gumption but condemned their ways.
(Queen Elizabeth I, Marie Antoinette, Bloody Queen Mary)
This is a fierce piece - a fine piece.

I am glad you think so. I'm going thru this phase in which I am using my favorite songs to come up with a poem.

This one was based on: 'Throne' by Empire Cast

I'll give that a listen thanks.

Listen to a song by Suzanne Vega called 'The Queen and The Soldier' - a great story song in this vein.

I love this so much!! Honestly except for the suffering of the ones i love part, i protect them but the mending part i truly understand and have lived it :) beautifully pieced together nice job!

[Jessica Lima]

lol. they are not going to suffer as in physical pain, but they will be hurt that I must stop sharing everything with them. In the end, this is my life. You know what I mean? I protect those I love too. Thanks for stopping by!!!

[Jennifer Cullum]

Oh i get it now and your welcome!

I think that last line is perfect, all that strength and power claimed before and in that last line a sliver of vulnerability, just perfect!

This is powerful! Plus, I can relate to it. Much said in eight lines. Well done!

[Jessica Lima]

Thank You Zoe! In truth I have problems reading and writing long poems... I tend to fall asleep. At times I have one good stanza and the rest is crap... don't want to force it so I left it as it was.

[Zoya]

Well, yeah, it's really good as it is! You're welcome.

[Everett DeValle]
