You know, she always used to tell me,
“When I was young I could’ve been anything,
I ever dreamed; I could make,
My wildest dreams no more fantasy,
But a reality.”
Her eyes dazzled like a thousand diamonds,
When she spoke about it,
And she wiped away a tear as she spoke.
I could feel the memories of her youth,
Emanating into the room,
Turning it from the desolation it was,
To a kingdom.
So I wondered at this freedom,
She possessed and imagined her,
A ruler, an empress,
But she told me after,
“…Even with all this,
The one thing that I could never achieve,
Was my happiness.”
