WE ARE THE PRIVILEGED KINGS AND QUEENS

 

We are the privileged Kings and Queens
Rulers of the world within our worthless minds
Where demons roam free in lives of frivolity
As we sit on glided thrones of pain and misery

We are the privileged Kings and Queens
Of kingdoms where rivers run in blood orange
Seeping through slits and carved valleys
As we grew and died between momentary lapses

We are the privileged Kings and Queens
Of eyes dimmed at the arrival of twilight
Seeking comfort of the unknown behind
Muffled tears and blue-black skies.

We are the privileged Kings and Queens
Of feelings as fragile as milky galaxies
Wisps of death linger around seas of self-hate
Hidden by the need of societal reflections

We are the privileged Kings and Queens
Walking along a kingdom of mediocrity
Our life measured in actions and intentions
Only to be killed by our nightmares and doubts
