But...
Shhh...
It is mine, she says.
Ah! I laugh.
It is my throne, she shouts.
It is a shrine, don't forget.
*
It is a golden cage.
Don't let proximity to power lie to you.
You are in his world—
Bend, twist, clap are his commands.
You know the cost.
*
But...
You traded your voice for velvet chains.
I am his queen. She touches her silk.
Bound by reins,
A bird in a golden cage who can never fly.
*
But why?
I can't do it.
You can.
Fear shackles me.
You are made of steel.
Own yourself.
What is within you, no one can take nor claim.
