I want to be a queen
with a king who loves me so,
I want to be loyal
Like a pone first out to battle,
I want to be as strong
as a knight in shining armor,
I want to be a bishop
who has the power to bring people together,
I want to be the protector
like a rook is to the king.
But then again,
I don’t want to be any of that.
I want to be
the King,
who is the most protected,
most cared for, and
the prize possession of all.
