princess, spoiled by the love<\/p>\n
of someone so ruthless<\/p>\n
he’d shield you from any pain<\/p>\n
you fall, are lost without him<\/p>\n
and maybe that was never his intention<\/p>\n
and maybe it was, there is no telling now<\/p>\n
but you, you need to keep going<\/p>\n
no matter the motive, you are broken now<\/p>\n
and have to start rebuilding<\/p>\n
maybe not a kingdom<\/p>\n
maybe nothing more than<\/p>\n
a tent for now<\/p>\n
a place so close to the stars you will not feel trapped again<\/p>\n
a place with walls so flimsy you will never<\/p>\n
have trouble breaking free to run<\/p>\n
there is no greater purpose than<\/p>\n
rebuilding yourself bit by bit<\/p>\n
grief may be a solid foundation but it is not hope<\/p>\n
pain may promise duration but it is not joy<\/p>\n
learn to trust one person to learn<\/p>\n
to trust yourself for the first time<\/p>\n
learn to rise again<\/p>\n
you may be developing calluses<\/p>\n
but at least your hands don’t waver anymore<\/p>\n
you may be wielding the very knives<\/p>\n
he forbade you to touch for fear of injuring yourself<\/p>\n
but at least next time the world won’t find you helpless<\/p>\n
you make the journey from title to truth step by step<\/p>\n
from a princess by name<\/p>\n
to a queen by choice<\/p>\n
you rise<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
