princess or pauper?

Life raised me as a pauper

orphanized child

unseen by any passerby

unloved by my family

(in my own mind)

But I knew I was a princess anyhow!

I knew because the blood

running freely in my veins

had a voice, loud and clear

and it told me so

It told me of the things

I was going to see

It had been to the future

and came back with messages for me

No one else believed me

but I knew anyhow

And that was that
