Princess of Time

I am the new Reaper.
Stealing souls as I walk across shattered glass meadows.
    Taking life from both young and old.
Leaving pain and hate to be consoled.
    Breaking promises and crushing dreams.
Turning life into a balance beam. (don’t fall)
    This job of mine, my duty, my life,
Is constantly causing pain and strife.
    
    I did not choose it to be this way,
But an order from the sun’s brightest ray.
    I am the Elemental daughter Princess of time;
The end of a life’s worthy climb.
