Queen

Deep inside where no one could see,

She was silently screaming someone help me.

But with a smile on her face

She only shows her outside grace.

To the people on the outside,

She is the one who never cried.

With nowhere else to turn

And no one showing concern,

She tries escaping the only way she can,

Thinking maybe it’s time for a different plan.

The emotional pain was just too much to bear,

While feeling there was no one to care.

As she reaches for the knife,

The possibilities of her future life

Came rushing through her mind;

She went past the emotional pain to find

The things she has desired to do

And decided she was through

Allowing others to tear her down.

So she laid the knife down, and instead put on a crown.

How to imagine a life spent in a "well-watered" goldfish
bowl, with every second of life scrutinised and judged?
Scary and surely likely to induce problems for anyone
less used from childhood to the duties and the demands.
There can be no one who could ever hope do it better.
What a trouper - blessed with that magical smile!
Here's a health unto Her Majesty.
