The Favourite Child
Write a story or poem centered around this theme.
Golden Perfection
Golden brow laid in sunlight
Hair blazing bright as a roaring fire
Sleeping in a silver cradle
She was born a master piece
Each step a declaration of beauty
She walks with elegance to her right
Grace follows on the left
She wore them as jewels
With a crown of glass dripping her blood
The light reflecting on her head
Hide her tear streaks
The hall was hers
An inheritance of her sacrifices
For she was perfect
Even when she stumbled
A husk of a human
Burned by the burdens of perfection
A child is only the favorite when they learn to bleed unflinching
So as she graces her presence
Following the trail of sunlight
She was born a child
Raised to be golden
A figurine of her parents design
A representation of her siblings
She was raised to carry the burden of perfection
That was the favorites burden
