"When she looks at her image in the mirror she does not see herself."
Beauty & The Beast [Retelling]
When she looks at her image in the mirror
she does not see herself.
She doesn't see a strong woman
nor a smart girl.
She focuses on scars
and imperfections alike.
She hates what she sees
and that's when the tears strike.
She forgets she's gorgeous
and imperfectly unique.
She's gold and silver
but that's not what she seeks.
She feels defeated
by an image she can't achieve.
For she is no less than a beauty
but only sees a beast.
Cursed Crown
Power is a crown
as heavy as prestige,
useless without support
as lonely is the queen.
As she parades in her gown,
love an overused word,
her subjects bow to the ground,
their mouths filled with dirt.
Her hurt is strong and profound,
but she acquired from birth,
a heavy and beautiful crown,
tied with a bow and a curse.
She cannot escape it now,
so she's bound to live
as the sovereign of a town
that love will never give.
Nice! I love it, very true, nicely written :)
