My Kingdom

Here in this kingdom
I live all alone
not a person to talk to
in this place called my home
I call out to you
and ask what’s my name
as the gods look at me
they bow their heads in shame
You’ve done nothing special
not good but not bad
you’ve done nothing memorable
with this life that you’ve had
So why should we tell you
they yelled back at me
If all that we tell you
is nothing you’ll be?
I look for the gods
they have already left
how could I have wasted
my life, this gift?
I return to my kingdom
feeling melancholy
as I stand on the cliff
and pour my tears into the sea
So I turn to the heavens
with my face full of sorrow
and scream out to them
I’ll do better tomorrow!
They shout back at me
There’s no point anymore!
My heart starts to break
as its washed up the shore
So I sit in this kingdom
where I live all alone
not a person to talk to
in this place called my home
