I'm not ready
How can I be
This crown was just
Thrust upon me
I went from the leader of few
In the Scorpion Den
To the queen of hundreds
The dragons all bow
To me now
But I
Don't think
I can do it
I did not want
To be queen
It seemed
Like so much power
So much pressure
So much responsibility
When all I want
Is just to be me
But I must lead
And they will follow
And I will make
A better tomorrow
Free of pain
Free of sorrow
Free of tears
And death
And smoke
At least
That's what
I hope
What if
I can't be strong
Enough
For an entire tribe
To respect me
It's not easy
But is it that different
From the Scorpion Den?
Where I grew up
I want to go home
But this is my home
My stronghold
My fortress
I can do this
And I will
My past life
Of love and heartbreak
Will only fuel me
In this twisting maze
And I won't have doubts
I never did before
So I put on
A brave face
Because I am
Brave
And I am
Strong
And I am
Good and kind
And that is how
It will be
Until I die
Until my last breath
I will fight
I will live
Life to the fullest
As queen
Their queen
As prickly as my namesake
Queen Thorn
