SOME KINGDOMS MUST BE RULED ALONE

In realms where sovereignty stand,
Some kingdoms are meant to command.

These realms, flourish on their own.
They are strengthened in self-reliance growth.

No need for others to hold my hands.
For I am king, of my own land.

So let me stand, let me shine,
In my own time, in my own line.
For some kingdoms are indeed,
meant to be ruled, alone.

In solitary splendor, I reign
A kingdom of one, where I sustain

The weight of my crown,
the burden of my throne
Unshared, unaided,
yet never overthrown

Some kingdoms are meant
to be ruled alone.
Where the monarch’s
heart beats to a solitary tone.

The silence is my solace,
my strength and my guide
In the stillness, I hear
the whispers of my pride.

I am the master of my fate,
and the captain of my soul.
I dance with my shadows,
I sing with my pain

For in my kingdom of one,
I’ve found my peaceful nest
Where I, the solitary ruler,
forever rest; only I can rule this kingdom.
