There once was a princess,

I wanted them to like me, I just turned thirteen.

The whisky burned my throat.

who was ravaged, her soul splintered into shards.

Twisting, screaming, I kicked at them hard, and my foot smashed a dresser mirror before they pinned me onto a bed.

She spent many blue moons mending her shattered Self,

I tried moving on, branded a whore, while wearing a white-lined wrist. Life was hard.

until one day, her psyche's slivers remerge, transforming her into a veiled oracle

But today, my spirit reflects the light, like a chapel’s craquel windows.
