False Freedom

She held a quiet wish;
Lyrical objections 
ransacked Fate’s will to 
concede to a Princess;
A line was drawn right through;

She held a quiet wish,
her soul always ignored;
Lying to herself now 
passion was left embers;
Her belly yearned for  ‘Wow!’;

She held a quiet wish,
her path now befuddled;
Tears reflecting riches 
she’d lost interest in 
smolder with lit matches;

She held a quiet wish,
composure found it’s crown;
No longer desolate
she escaped false freedom,
created her own fate.
