Ok so I have another idea for a fic and so many fandoms with so many characters can fit this but I choosen one of my favorite DreamWorks films, The Prince of Egypt. For future notice and in my mind, I will write Rameses and Moses as a couple. I don't even care. But until then, this will be about Rameses. The Song" Good Enough." from the hit series Empire, was the inspiration. The singer is Jussie Smollett. Check out the song because it is great!
Enjoy.
Title: "Good Enough."
Fandom: The Prince of Egypt
Character(s): Rameses, Seti, and Moses
Warning(s): Nah.
I want to, but I wish I did own this masterpiece.
'One weak link...'
It is the only thing he's ever thought of me as. I am to rule one day...over Egypt and all she has to give us but am I good enough to do so? My younger adopted brother Moses is lucky. He gets to decide his fate while mine is set in hard. When our father looks at us, at me with disappointment, with such disdain. I sometimes wonder if I'm good enough. I confessed this to Moses and he looked at me with sadness and asked did I feel that I was good enough to rule.
It wasn't about being good enough to ruleover Egypt though it was part if my issues. But it was mostly about if I'm good enough as my father's son.
I remember the times I tried to make him proud, all the times I would try to follow in his foot steps. My mother worried and Moses looked on in guilt. I would grin and bare it because as the future Pharaoh, as the morning and the evening star, I had to bare it all. There are nights that I lay in bed as I watch the stars in the darken sky and I reach out in a childish attempt to grab them. To know what it is like to be among them like my father is to Egypt's people. I used to do it when I was but a child and some nights, I find myself reaching for the heavens.
I just want to be good for my father...I don't want make the choices he has for me to be for nothing. But I have to understand that the more I try, the more he doesn't care. My brother loves me for me... My mother may not approve of everything but she cares. I know deep down, my father, The great Seti, also loves me but doesn't show it. Maybe when I become the morning and evening star, when I become Egypt's ruler when my father's sun sets...
Maybe then, I'll be good enough.
Maybe he will look at me the way I look at the stars...maybe then he can reach me the way I try to reach him.
LS7: I always felt sorry for Rameses. I really did, still do.
