Golden

mom would sit this way
what's wrong with me?
I am very much here.
and I am nothing like my warriors.

sent to protect
powerless without orders
invisible in the tepid room
angry, helpless

I choose death for a day
choose power
find weakness
but I choose it

hundreds watching waiting
knowing dreading
they guard me as I choose
their gold armor

grasping at straws
spin to gold, spin to gold
please, please, no, no
rumplestiltskin
you idiot
