You become King
Only once
You have
Blood on your hands
Scars on your face
And a heart tenderised
By being
Broken
Over
And over

You become King
Not when
Daddy
Gives you his crown
But when you
Take
It
From
Him

Or forge one
Yourself
In his absence

With bloodied hands

Rest it upon a
Scarred face

Rule
With a
Tender heart
