small lady: a really awful free-verse poem

she was loved but she was bitten by her undeniable fate nobody to cherish her sweet smile, precocious power undiscovered, shielded alive in a world dominated by fear

sobriquet given rini in shadow of mother dearest in acceptance by father brave the rulers of the earth a king and queen

traverse back in time to search for one item and one women familiar to rini, is she in instinct and genetics yet small lady is unaware

small lady is on her quest to save the queen but discovers nothing this old world has to offer no reason to smile no reason to stay

rini is afraid then comes serena suspicious is she, for- this adolescent of the age has a face synonymous with her

“could this be the one i need?” small lady asks her self she argues otherwise, however, for young serena does not love her like a maternal woman should

how this will end small lady does not know her future has already been told
