Useless
Useless is what I am;
Once a princess, held in high regard,
Now nothing but a lost soul,
Trying to find a place to call mine.
I honestly tried to keep the peace,
My last resorts proving worst of all,
When I failed my country, my home,
My kingdom, I let everyone down.
All I could do was stand back and watch
My country diminish to the nothingness it is.
Or is it? Hope seems to linger within me,
Though nothing seems to be able to offer it.
Useless is how I feel, crying helplessly
Into the nights, so much colder than
Ever before, while my life was together
And my life wasn't at risk every step I took.
But nowadays, five years since that day
I claimed that I knew the right thing to do,
The kingdom, my kingdom, my responsibility
Has all slipped away, a nightmare never to pass.
Eternal nightmare, the dark clouds that appear
Fixated in the sky, never to lift to the sun.
The darkness has rested within me for so long,
I don't know quite how to handle the light.
Useless is what I am, nothing but a burden
To a kingdom once peaceful, now in the depth of
Demise, all due to one little being. A dreadful child.
Me.
Whoa. My first poetry. Dark. I can't say that it's great, because I don't think that any of my poetry's great, so please tell me what you think! I need to build poetic confidence...or try something else. It's all up to you, people! ^_^
Review please!! Thank you!
