throne

i thought the crown
was mine forever
but then
i was overthrown.
one day it belonged to me,
the next it was out of reach.
how can you love
what isn't yours?
how can you be proud of something you didn't earn but stole?
there's so much more to me than gowns and gold,
but the throne is not yours,
and i am going to fight for what is rightfully mine.
