No More Princes

People always tell me,

“Don’t worry dear…one day your prince will come”

 

I have decided

I don’t want a prince

 

Princes are spoiled

Entitled

Confused

 

They play games

And they lie

 

They pretend to be

Valiant

And Noble

 

But in reality

They are nothing of the kind

 

They take what they want

And leave you behind

 

No I don’t want a prince…

 

I’d rather marry a king

 

Kings have responsibilities

They don’t have time for play things

 

They need a partner

Someone they can trust

 

A wife they can lean on

To help them with stuff

 

Kings are mature

Educated

And humble

 

No more princes for me

I’ll wait for a king

Wow, this is really amazing and an interesting way to say what kind of guy you want. Yeah, I know how it felt to always been told that "One day your prince will come". For awhile, I started to actually believe that but sometimes I highly doubt that these days. But then again, I'm young and still dealing with immature and confused boys. I have to agree that they do play a lot of games, in fact, mind games. It drives me crazy! I think saying you want a "king" instead was such a brilliant idea! I wish I would've thought of that!!! XD Again, wonderful job. Yeah, you'll find your "king" one day. Patience is the key :)

Thank you! Yes the games do get exhausting after a while - the key is to just enjoy your life sit is, and when you don't need him, he'll be there - thanks for the review, Im glad you liked it!

You're welcome! That's also a true key to live by. But you're welcome again for the review. You did deserve it, since this is amazing :)

Wow! Fantastic declaration and all women say "YES!" Good writing anchored on a very logical and wise premise, and I love how you laid out the qualities that comprised the very defined wish. Enjoyed reading this1

Great write- nice flow and meter-hope you find him- but what about his Queen?

[Persephone]

Thank you! :) I hope he waits for her too

As respectful gutter-trash, I'll happily bow out of the running for your affections as a king. You did well in contrasting the difference between the two. I always say, "f**k spoiled b*****s."

The best way to tell your feelings is writing them. And it makes me understand why I don't like half the boys in my class. 100/100

Absolute right who was a spoiled little prince if there is a gallant king available. Nice poem I enjoyed it

I'm sure there must be a King out there somewhere ;)
Great poem!

[Persephone]

Thanks!

Nice poems with great rhymes. I'm neither prince or king. I'm a warrior.
