STORY STARTER
Write a poem or short story from the perspective of royalty, which focuses on a specific topic of your choice.
It could be real royalty or a fantasy world, but try to imagine how they would feel differently about your chosen theme due to their position.
The Misunderstood
You think I have it all. Sure, I have food on the table and a lavish bed to sleep in. You just don’t see what I see. I should be greatful, I know. I have a beautiful garden and servants. You don’t hear what I hear. I should’nt complain, you’re right. I don’t need to work or sell. You don’t feel what I feel. You don’t see the violence of the man I thought would care for me. You don’t here the words he says to me. You don’t feel the emptiness inside of me; Knowing If I slip up, If I make a single mistake. It could cost me my head.
