My Crown is Permanent- Jeski Adams

My Crown is permanent

And in that there is no debate

Whether you question my worth, my royalty

My head adorned is fate

I earned it too

But not in the way that you think

I deserve every glinting sparkle

Because I was born to be this

This as in Great.

I have been through wars

And it is in battles I have found

That even when my knights flee for cover

I am immovable

Standing strong on shaky ground

I guess that makes me a warrior!

As I have ever been a Queen

Yet I need to explain something so that you know despite my glow up

That there was never an in between

Battle ridden or not

I was born to have this precious metal upon my brow

So call out to me

Try to spit your insults as you stare on

And in your hatred, scowl

But in the end you’re all background noise

I’m the hero in this tale

I’ve been worthy from the start

And you?

When did you ever matter?

Because, as you can see, your arms against me did fail

I am capable. I am gifted.

And I am worthy of love and so much more

My only fault being my burning ears

As they have listened to the cruel words your mouth did pour

I’ve bore that burden

Have let you make me work for something I already had

And that is MY POWER

A thing you’ve hidden from me

Every spark of it showing you’ve chided in me that it’s bad

All the while you’ve just been detesters

Unsure of your own value- you’re mad!

Because every time you think you’ve defeated me-I rise back up!

Each time higher than you ever have

I don’t need your praises

Keep your God, your Devil, and all your curses

I’ll be that demon of which to you I seem

And in my terrible form will my diadem fit snugly atop my head

As for your opinions?

Gone.

I will no longer consume your hatred so easily as fresh baked bread

This time I think I’ll take another route

I AM the Queen of this story

And you? You’re quickly made dead

Because as your monarch, I put down my ruling…

And I demand your fucking head.
