"Poem: Life Unwanted" by Jenny (Jeni) Watson

She sits up in her castle,

She always showed the proper manner,

Though she yearned to Scream and shout.

She was much more beautiful,

Than any other in the land.

Though her mind was full of sadness,

From the birthmark on Her Hand.

One could only wonder,

If she would ever shed a smile,

or a small laugh out in glee.

it was not taught in her classes.

And since a crown was on her head,

she could not play with lads and lasses.

She was forced to eat in silence,

and wear a dress down to the floor.

Given all she ever needed,

Though she yearned for something more.

She always wished for freedom,

from the life her birth had given.

Always wished for something truer,

than the lie that she was livin.

She wished to roll around,

in the daisy covered field.

How she yearned to pass the gates,

that forever made her yield.

Tomorrow she is to wed,

a man she hates with heart and soul.

Though her father doesn’t care,

as long as he receives his gold.

She sits up in her castle,

Before silently sneeking out.

Loneliness surrounds her,

Though her heart was free of Doubt.
