23. The False Prince

I did not want to be king .

I ran away

So I made up a name

It was lying

Now I am the one crying



My family,

they are all gone

the Nobleman,

his took their lives.

He found me,

now I'm going to fight

to stay.


The Prince is gone

4 guys want the throne,

Fighting for the crown

I  watched one as he died.


In truth,

I am the Prince.

The runway prince.

No longer with a family,

nor a crown on my head.

I am being controlled

by the one who took everything.


I got beat down.

People don't know who I am

My family loved me,

they died thinking

I was gone.

I worked to get the crown back

and everyone wants me dead.


In the end,

I am the real prince.

In pain,

I await the day

of when my crown

does not hang with grief.

But with the joy

It really should bring.
