#358 - Monarch
I was going to give you queen as a prompt, but then I realised that a much wider prompt would be: monarch. Have a great weekend!

Need some suggestions?

rise up
clad in colors of a joyful life
throw off the strife
just as the figured eight
rejects a narrow fate
tilt against convention
buck the winds of rebuff
ignore the false contention
stare down the face of ridicule
avoid the vapid scornful fool
disregard rebuke
spurn condemnation
shun the foolish blown off course
by the ruinous brutish force
of mindless conformation
the prevailing norm
is a toxic storm
be not inclined to fear nor falter
choose not to hear it
nor let it alter
the path of spirit
stay your ground
lean hard on raw conviction
wait the weight of mind’s confliction
it’s here your strength is found
be anchored bold
and firmly hold
to what the heart deems genuine
until patience spent
returns again
do not resent
be flexible
to withstand the blows
resisting those
who would see you swayed
and lowly bent
who would see
your spirit broken
a cruel tawdry token
they might savor
laugh instead
raise up high your head
don’t ever waver
be ever strong
be never rigid
never brittle
prone to break
do not forsake
your soulful song
eschew the wayward
noisy throng
hearken wisdom’s subtle whisper
be drawn the way of hope
and wonder
never consent to knuckle under
to the whim of fools
make rich your vault of dreams
your trove of true enlightenment
seek what inspires
what makes you
you
breakthrough
breakthrough

That was beautiful, Rob!!! My take on "becoming" a Monarch. :-)
I know you meant for the regal form but I immediately thought of a different type of regal, sorry for being cheeky
Thank you for the prompt i enjoyed the challenge :)
My take on Monarch turned out to be a butterfly.
Are we ever truly rulers of our domain?
