The Mattress' Princess

Sentient and still

Found after he was wronged

Assumed he had forgotten

his choice in the present.

But there is one

who uses him

to be like him.

Wronged in a past life

he has a choice

to harden his shell

so the one above never feels his secret

or

to melt his rigid exterior

and allow what is placed underneath to come up.

Only a princess can feel the pea

but the mattress decides

who is a princess.
