Princess Xia Poet Rhyme

Shut Down

Am I still a Princess if I don't feel like one?
Confidence for blood
Which now has run dry, nearly gone

Can't tell which I dislike more,
Myself or these mirrors
Is there really an answer I am searching for?

So Princess Xia needs to shut down
Just for awhile
And take off this crown

That beauty which I once saw
Were all illusions in my head
In truth, its all a flaw

These hundreds of writes which I said were poetic
Are just words stringed together
It's all pathetic

I am no royalty
Not a princess for sure
Just plain me

Maybe I deserve a slap across the face
For chasing these wishes
Which were out of place

Not all wishes are meant to be caught
Some remain just that, wishes
That's what I have been taught

This is me
Riding the slope into depression
Becoming its detainee

Duke Beaufort November 23, 2014 at 8:45 AM Dear Princess, dreams will stay with us always. I am in my 60s, but am still haunted by my fantasies from youth. At times they interfere with my thoughts and existence in the present. You are a wonderful soul, and your wonderfulness cannot be hidden. So we must work on being who we are and making the best of it. In reality, other people's life is not any better than ours is although at times it doesn't feel that way. I would love to hear from you even if not a princess. Princess Xia December 6, 2014 at 6:38 PM Thanks Duke, that is really helpful advice, I appreciate it
