The Unlikely Prince - Free Verse by Malik Rosser

📜
This one is a Free Verse poem. I hope you enjoy.
•
Shattered glass…broken mirrors…blood-stained floors
My fame and fortune, proven by the royal décor

My status makes me a prince but my damaged mentality forces me to be a prisoner

Your presence frightens me
Your whispers break me

The walls of isolation keep me safe.
I think I know why it's called "The Pursuit of Happiness", because I'm always in a chase.

Pain and sorrow lingering in my mind where my loving memories once sat. So much regret, reminiscing about all the wasted time I can't get back.

No amount of money can buy it, not at my own expense, My judgement constantly clouded and my actions prone to be dense


They were right. I guess I truly am, and may always be, The Unlikely Prince.

I can't stop it, and you can't avoid it-It's a way of life. I want what's best for you. The guy you fall for doesn't have to be perfect, but he has to truly love you, stay faithful, and never turn to abuse. Don't worry I'll make sure he never hurts you. If y

To those I love and to those who love me.

This piece of work was written--start to finish-- by my Dad, who unfortunately passed away years ago. Even after death he still motivates me. I want to accomplish all that I can to make my Dad, the rest of my family, and myself, as proud as possible. **** Thank you. I hope you like it. **** 🌹 Now that I have left you for a little while, Please go on bravely With a gallant smile, And for my sake and in my name, Live on and do all things the same-- Spend not your life in empty days, But fill each waking hour in useful ways-- Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer, And I, in turn, will comfort you and hold you near. 🌹 R. I. P Eugene D. Vasquez ~My amazing Dad- **** Thank you for your time.
