❝All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,His acts being seven ages.❞
--William Shakespeare, As You Like It
this commoner-turned-queen is not your
playing piece, she is not your
woman to use when you want someone to
climb on your lap and coddle you–
she is your equal and she
holds more power between her
bruised and battered lips and
gilded tongue than you
could ever ( ❝All the women in me
dream of are tired.❞ )
