Prision of Gold

There is a gold crown on her head
And people think she's a queen
But it's a crown of thorns instead
And the pain is yet unseen

Today she learned that less is more
As she is standing alone on the shore

There's a bracelet around her hand
Engraved with gems so precious
As a handcuff trying to pretend
She is lucky and just so gorgeous

Today she learned freedom as no price
As she is throwing another dice

There is a luminous smile on her face
Which shines all along the way
But hiding memories she can't erase
To thrive through another day

Today she learned the joy of the child
As she is running into the wild

Royal necklace lays on her chest
One she dreamed of for so long
But as a rope tied for arrest
It's suffocating her lifesong

Today she learned dreams can be misleading
And sometimes not worth achieving

-"Was it meant to be like this?
  Did I need a poisoned kiss?"
-"Is it for my spiritual growth?
  Is this the something that I chose?"

And as she looked up empty and alone
A voice whispered from the unknown:

You shall know the truth my child
Just return to your eternal essence
And keep your pure heart so mild
Life will bloom with a holy fragance...
