Enough With the Dancing
Youngest of twelve.
Misunderstood and childish,
That is how they all saw me,
But that is not who I am.
Not anymore.
I used to be one for love and romance.
However, that was all a mistake.
Feelings were not mutual
And he decided to wed my eldest sister instead.
Enough with the betrayal.
Enough with the lies.
Enough with the dancing.
This mystery of ours —
The mystery of all those nights my sisters and I spent,
All the laughing and drinking,
All the shoes that were danced to pieces —
It was all wrong.
Something must be done.
If no one was going to listen,
Then so be it.
I will take control of this kingdom.
I will rid this land of its corruption.
I will care for my people.
Goodbye to the shoes that were danced to pieces,
To anyone who refused to see me for who I am.
This kingdom is mine
And I will thrive.
