Still a Queen
You snuck up on me quietly, slowly, and with a smile on your face
You seemed so gentle and innocent
Little did I know that you were the wolf
Now here I am, little red riding hood
In the forest, dazed and confused
My mind now sees how you plotted and schemed
You saw that I was a queen
And you pretended to be a king
But royalty is a birth right
So despite your efforts, I am still a queen
Better next time
I sprung into the throes of your love
Drowned in the misery of your vices
Shut out all advices
To later realize that they were all right
Throwing all caution to the wind
So that I could win
Little did I know I was a pawn
In the game of love
Though you called me your queen
Little did I know that your actions
Didn’t speak the same as your words
Your friends even called you a fool
Cause what you were doing was wrong
But I am alright because I got time
You were a lesson to learn
And I’ll know better next time
To my hair
Like a jungle
Sometimes I tame you and other times you tame me
As wild as ever can be and bound to me for life
You are the lion and I am the lioness
A mane that can be so unruly
With a growl that cannot be matched
I recently read Rupi Kaur’s milk and honey which is a beautiful book filled with very deep poems about love, hurt, and healing. Her poems are so vulnerable and deep that she inspired me to through caution to the wind by sharing some of my poems. I do have to say that writing poems is very cathartic as compared to other writing because it can make you get really into your feelings. I hope you’ve enjoyed this little collection of my poems. I am sure there will be more to come. 🙂 ❤
