Fit For A Crown

A poem about a Queen.

42
Fit For A Crown
Word Press

With the strike of a match, the fire was lit

It can't be blown out, and you're stuck with it.

What's the point of saving a city, If you're going to burn it down?

Is there a meaning to being a queen, if you can't even wear your crown?

Can you ration all your reasons?

Can you spare yourself the time?

We all want to save our cities.

We all want to cut our ties.

The answer is within you;

and you know that it's the key.

It's not like you to be destructive

with a heart as big as the sea.


You're the spark that's within us

but I don't think you can see.

The greatness that will come to you

or what you can truly be.

For this is your city,

and you built it brick by brick.

You may be weak now but

you're much stronger than you can admit.

See, one day you'll find your reasons,

and one day you'll cut your ties;

Maybe I can save your city

While you find yourself in mine.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
