In this archaic , rusted metal.
The blasphemy has subsumed me ,
In your boundless chattel .
The order of life settled,
Been euphoric for you ,
Has hearten your mettle,
But things slated for me are all black and blue.
My reticence ,
Was never a choice.
My silk gown dignified me ,
My virginity ,my innocence ,
Affirmed my poise.
My eyes did say ,
Through the adorned tulle
Of the veil
My hands did shiver
In the sheer lacy gloves.
But I didn't condemn this aurae.
Because I wasn't supposed to ,
Utter a word.
A queen wasn't supposed to
Be as absurd.
In the taut corset ,
My heart died at each pump.
But my friend says ,
"You'll get used to it ,
To this doom forfeited."
In the clamor of the men ,
Raising their wine glass
And laughing,
At the gala then ,
I perceived the farse.
The hypocrisy I saw ,
How they hailed their queen,
And how their jaws gnawed ,
At each lace of her self-esteem.
My lips had words to spill ,
My brain had dreams to knit.
My hands had desire to labour ,
For the toils I wasn't supposed to fit-in.
But the modest crown
From the clouded age
Was ponderous on my thoughts
Which , it thinks to be adown.
But my musing do sojourn ,
To an abode
Where they do not mourn
women.
I better , well, anticipate
A tomorrow of acceptance.
Where they acquiesce
Where they concur for a repentance.
I long for my heart to inflate ,
For the corset to be redundant.
I desire my gown to not be a requisite
My world awaits ,
A turn of fortune,
For the woman mordant
And free.
