Hi, everyone. Here’s one of my free writes. Inspired by The Crown a show on Netflix.
I want to be like you.
I want to make the moon and the sun talk.
Eavesdropping on the giggles of
what the weather would be like today.
Be able to pay the clouds a visit and
tell em I suspect rain in May.
Then with no permission, I’ll get a veil
to cover the sun’s cheese
because no need for an early bird.
I want to be like you.
I want to write big headlines.
Tell the bottom feeders to look at me.
Radiating in the sparkles of the Manhattan lights.
Dashing my black gloved arms around the posters.
Hearing all of the oohs and awes of my name in bold.
Kissing my own hand for the followers
that flows like the hem of my Versace dress.
I want to be like you
I want to toss money.
Waiting for it to bounce back to me,
because it stays unlimited under my name.
Spoil my family in the unsleeping city ordering food
when their eyes are bigger than their stomachs.
The appetizers being gold on a platinum platter.
The entrees being a flavor the people would want to touch
and turn into something magnificent.
While dessert is being served
with me melting like steel in a bath of my riches.
I want to be like you.
I want to be the hero even when I’m the villain.
Watch people gravel for my approval which isn’t even deserving.
Listen to all of the haters tell me what I should be
but still watching me be what they want to be.
Being the example that good beats evil.
Although laughing as the mastermind,
resting in all of my diabolical wishes.
I want to be like you.
I want historic money to laugh at jokes that aren’t even funny.
Having the opportunity to watch my masterful calculation.
Playing the game of which pawns can rule beside me.
Being merciless and letting the others be in a chaotic reign.
To walk the crimson carpet leading to my throne
as I become a queen that conquers for what’s owed.
I want to be like you.
But I’m Going to Be Better
I will come back to Earth when need be.
I will show others to aspire, to rule a nation.
I will build kingdoms that light hearts and not egotistical darkness.
I will make headlines that bring the cheerful roars of the people.
I will free the Sun and break the spell of the Moon.
I will have strategies to save and not to destroy.
I will be victorious and not harvest destruction.
I will carry the people that are weak on my back and encourage those
who proves stronger.
I will bow to the crown that has accepted
that I’ve worked to earn it.
I will play and win the game,
when my wrong wants are my losses.
I absolutely love the imagery in this! There’s so many good lines I can’t even pick a favorite.
I really liked this free verse. I could definitely see the aspects of hierarchy and power throughout the piece, and I also thought the structure was really well done.
I love the how each stanza gives off different personality and I think that’s so cool.
The integration of poetry into your blog posts is so unique and I think that it had to be added in one time or another, I am glad you did it.
