Not What We Appear
Crown of Thorns
Written by Kalliroscope
I am given too much power
Too much for the paws of one cat to hold
Too much responsibility
Too much of a burden for me
If I could give it all up
And start anew, a mewling kit
Lose this power, this throne
This crown of thorns
I would in a moment
In the time it takes to ask �Why?�
And now I�ll tell you why
No one cat should wield such force
No one cat should control so many lives
No one cat should be the king of a thousand minions
The fate of the world should rest on multiple shoulders
But not on mine alone
They worship me, though
They see me as half-god half-cat
And who am I to disillusion them?
I should be as noble as they see me
I should act as kindly and as gentle as they think
I should know the way to make a just decision
I should not be tormented with indecision
This is one thing I am firm on
This is one thing on which I know my mind
I shouldn�t be allowed to hold them all
All in my paw
To crush or to conquer
Or to cherish
As I see fit
No one cat should be given this burden
No one cat should be given this crown.
