Princess Poor Poem by Ragy Sandid

She was young She was strong
She was a princess who lived in excess
Full of life Void of strife

She lived under a nobleman She gave birth to a boy
Who lived under a king And a girl who lived in full swing
And partied life away of life's party every night and every day

Then royalty changed Though she felt strange
To an army of men unharmed by any of them
Who made the rich poor life wasn't as before

She grew She knew
And so the children she might not see any of them
And with them ambition after change in condition

First the nobleman departed She felt broken hearted
Then the son took flight there was dark where was light
And the daughter married and the days just carried

Outward, she stayed chin up No one day will she stop
She made good use of her legs Princess don't for affection beg
She let them run where they can life is it what it is without any man

Then came grandchildren She stayed with them
After daughter's divorce finally removed from remorse
And loneliness And crosses distance

Then came illness With it stillness
That dislodged legs' use A sign of obtuse
Now just a body and mind with no clue to find

Spent time with the son who gambled more than he won
In an island paradise volunteered virtue to vice
With want or care she was nowhere

The girl came back saw her mother as an attack
Refused to carry the weight without word or debate
On her shoulder put her in a room that's smaller

She waited She stated
For the rescue to resume she loved the vacuum
But few would tax the task for things she need not ask

Shestarted masked broken heart
To begin the end without a friend
Slowly without any blame a forgotten frame

She was bold She will hold
A life turned around herself tallest tree from the ground
From princess to pauper May the angels come for her
