~ Brass Princess~

You were concieved in passion
[b][i][b][i][b][i][b][i][b][i][b][i][b][i][b][i]Just before the fall of your Camelot.

Your birth was met with bliss on tap,
King Midas filling his challis and drinking you in,
intoxicated with infinite pride.
[b]He is immortalized this day, able to live on, in you.[/b]
[b]King Midas's boy Prince, cast in gold,
[/b][b]to preserve a perfect genetic blend of both he and his queen.
You and light share so much in his eyes,
the sun's reflection off your cheek,
illuminating the way, [/b][b]where the Kings darkness once hid the path to Camelot.
He believed that you were kissed by God
with such a beautiful, masculine face
full of so many expressions, all true.
Evoking random acts of kindness, [/b][b]by the softness in your eyes,
you brought with you smiles of legacy,
keeping in mind grins from nowhere
are not accidental.
The King did smile upon you,
[/b][b]his golden boy child, knowing nothing of wrong, [/b]
[b]you will never have a need to know of it.
I was conceived for procreation,
his highness wanting a second son.
I arrive in the shadow that follows behind you,
to the great disappointment of the King,
into your Camelot a girl child is thrust.
My birth was met with obligatory congratulations,
fabricated praise and our fathers false show of pride.
Forged from Brass, I'm not cast in gold
by the Midas touch of the king.
Only looking the same when polished,
I am left to tarnish, baptized[/b]
[b]in the salt water of our mothers tears.
[/b][b]Second to be born, into a second class.[/b]
[b]With a silent grace I except my position,
[/b][b]in the shade of the sun that you've eclipsed.
The Queen did cry upon me, her baby girl child,
my skin made of armor forged from Brass,
I am stronger in integrity than Gold,
because knowing nothing of wrong,
I will forever be destined, [/b][b]to know nothing but.[/b]
