The incubator of the human race,
A queen unaware of her greatness,
She hid her face.
She felt unworthy of greatness,
She then realized she didn’t need to be slave nor servant,
It didn’t matter if he wanted her or not,
Actually all she needed was to see herself thrive,
Not through the eyes of a man,
But through her own eyes.
His ring?
He can keep it,
If he knew her worth,
He wouldn’t have to second guess,
And if he has to second guess,
Then he has no idea what he wants,
Let alone, what he is about to miss out on.
