Rating: PG-13
Title: You Say
Summary: A truth belongs to each one of us, and Jalenashi’s is...
Notes: I originally intended to make this a dramatic monologue set to music (ICS), but I couldn‘t be arsed to figure out how to do it. Plus I’m self-conscious about my voice, sooo... ta-da!
You say I am a monster,
A murderer,
A traitor,
A tyrant-in-making.
You say my birthright is no longer mine.
My throne taken from me by my own choices.
I can hear you think it,
Say it,
Dream it,
Believe it
Even though much distance, countless lifetimes of knowledge separate us.
You think my right may be taken from me by my “wrong”, dear heart?
I was born a queen,
And nothing can ruin the natural order of things.
Not your false claim,
Not your blasphemous bedfellows,
Not your pathetic protests,
Like a newborn kitten in a sack.
I will always be your elder sister,
And you will never catch me or catch up to me.
This I know.
This is the one truth.
And you, dear heart?
And you?
