"PRINCESS" by David Guilbault
© 2021 David Guilbault, Seattle, March, 2021

She did her best.  Or so she said.
There would be no regrets when she was dead.
But, is that so?  Can it be true?
Or is it just another lie for me and you?

Can all that be, I’d like to know?
Was she ever free to let her real self show?
What she held inside, was it ever seen?
Had the Princess ever met the Queen?

She ruled with words, meant to be kind.
Never worry, fear or doubt would cross her mind.
She said it all, and all went well.
But when all was said and done could she even tell?

Can all that be, I’d like to know?
Was she ever free to let her real self show?
What she held inside, was it ever seen?
Had the Princess ever met the Queen?

A mother’s love won’t help you inside these padded walls.
A sister’s help will fall on deadened ears.
A daughter’s plea will haunt you ‘til she no longer calls.
And the wife you left behind fills you with fear.

He did his best.  That’s what he says.
He has no words of wisdom for the rest.
The hurt he feels cannot be found
No matter how many times he goes around.

Can all that be, I’d like to know?
Was she ever free to let her real self show?
What she held inside, was it ever seen?
Had the Princess ever met the Queen?
