Poem: The Princess Just...Left

One day
she just snaps.
She just leaves
it all behind.
No matter how comfortable
a cage is still a cage
It doesn't change
when they say
it will get better
then it never does
Or when they say
that they will help
but they never come.
The most thankless
the most taken-for-granted
the most noble profession
And when she is already gone
people realize how much
she did for them
but not until then
and not until it happens.
By then the point is moot
they blame everyone else
but not themselves
too late to help her.
It's her fault
she wasn't strong enough
to keep smiling
even when her heart
exploded.
