There are two ways to spread light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. ~Edith Wharton


Is Life really as good as they say?
An amazing thing to do,
A great experience with certain rules they lay?

Life lies to its subjects
A sorry excuse for a Queen.
Giving its gift to others only as experiments.

Because of the Queen’s great beauty she is simply praised.
With the Exiled King far away
She prospers as the King readies to leave her dazed.

Yet the Queen is unaware
The darkened armies armed
But the Queen is not empty handed nor bare.

When the King attacks, her swords are raised
She does this in the name of suffering
Though both defeat and victory are achieved, for the King claims and left the lands blazed.
