"Mirana"

I am a Queen- no more, no less, and nothing in between.
I wonder why I'm constantly alone, save for my husband.
I hear people calling my name, demanding things that cannot be done.
I see white here, white there, and white everywhere.
I want to flee this wretched place, to have a life of my own.
I am a Queen- no more, no less, and nothing in between.

I pretend to be so courageous even when I want to just give up.
I feel like I need to help every single person even when I know I can't.
I touch my husband, wishing he were someone else.
I worry about my sister, if she'll come back.
I cry at night when I'm left alone, when my husband goes to meet his 'friend.'
I am a Queen- no more, no less, and nothing in between.

I understand that I can no longer run away from my problems like I did as a child.
I say that no one is left behind, half dead, fully dead, or just simply injured.
I dream that, one day, I will again have a say in what goes on in Underland.
I try so bloody hard to forget about the past and just look forward.
I hope that I will once again see my friends on my own schedule, not my husband's.

I am a Queen- no more, no less, and nothing in between
