I Got Magic

I have always wanted to be a Princess.

Then I grew up and I want to be a Queen.

With magic.

And it turns out that I am both.

I feel like I have mentioned before how customers will ask me for something and 9 times out of 10 I am right in front of it or it is behind the customer.

Or left.

Or right.

You get it, the point is that the item they are always looking for is near me.

I have even taken to calling myself The Queen of Found Items.

Customers laugh a lot making deprecating comments about their eyes and being a little more patient.

Some days I just point.

Usually that is because this is the 100th customer to ask me for something that is right under their nose.

Otherwise I joke around with them.

I tell them that everyone is like that.

I am like that lol

I even have a name for it.

Infrontofmynoseitis.

The item I am looking for is literally right in front of my nose.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered my abilities extend beyond being in the store.

So now I have magic.

Thus making me a Magical Queen.

Untitled Dark Poem #8

Smile

they said

such a pretty girl

lips of rosy red

honey’ed hair

eyes

blue deep

seen only beneath the waves

a mermaid

dressed as such

upon a rock

none see

tears

tracking through dusty paint

chains

lichen covered

blend with plaster rock

none know

captive

not

freedom bound

lies told

by men

wanting to own

to scorn

lay beneath

breathe

wait

time will come

knives will be placed

justice will be served

those men shall fall

before you

on their knees.
