it’s good to be king

Linda M. Crate

i’m not afraid of you
been through
too much to let a jerk
like you take me
down,
and you wear that crown as
if you’re a king and not a
jester;
but that’s a little too ambitious
for a man of little
imagination
remember, darling, that i am the
king of this kingdom—
you are not welcome here,
and you have no power over
me, anymore;
not that little rabbit hearted girl that didn’t
want to hurt you
now i am the warrior raven with talons
sharpened for your funeral
all the wolves, coyotes, and bears are at the ready
going to use all your words against you
to wound you the same way you did
me—
going to make you regret
hurting me
simply by smashing you in the face with all
my success,
and reaching for higher suns and moons
that will burn you in humiliation.
