Simone Shauy Poet Free verse

The Empress

I made this country my realm

I govern it by fear

I have no mercy for enemies who try to take me away from this throne

It is mine 

Only mine!


I was born a woman

 I saw many underestimate me because of my gender

But when a woman is born with ambition running through her bloodstream

As I was

There is no way to stop such a compelling force

Her nature will blossom to command


I am a self-made winner

Smart enough to urdermine anyone's argument

I did not come to be a follower

But a supreme leader


My country challenges are many

These challenges drive me

To excell in my capabilities



I know it became a land of conspirators

Since I came to power

So I am constantly on guard

With an eagle's eye over my surroundings

Any wrong maneuver might cost my life



The almight power I have 

Make me feel above all

I have this uniqueness

It is seductive to be 

In such a high pedestal

My will stands supreme


However

Every thing in life as a price

The price for my sovereignty as a ruler

Is loneliness

I live in complete emotional isolation

I cannot trust anybody the confession

Of dreams, feelings or expectations



My existence is miserable in this aspect

It is like to live in a devastated place

Plenty of desolation

It is a fruitless ground for a dignifying life ...

Simone Bittencourt
