What was it like to be Queen

 Days
you wore the heaviest crown
Over a serious frown
but
Under your thick heavy gown,
What made your guarded heart pound?

(everyone gathered around;)
(everyone stooped, bowing down.)

What was it like to be Queen?
to see all the ugly unseen
that made the most tender soul mean?
When you were actually queen,
Did you intend to be mean?

(Did you ever know you were mean?)
(No one was meant to be Queen.

No one should sit on a throne
Lonely but never alone
Known but completely unknown.)

You were a girl just like me
Who played in the mulberry tree
Fell out and bloodied your knee.

Once upon a Time. Before
You had the power to start war.
