Lost piece
She started off as a pawn,
My expectations made her the queen
Enacting the pride of that role,
I became a beggar in her streets

She didn't become queen,
Just because she stayed still
She worked hard and walked hard,
She took every step to be her liege
Even with the risk of her head,
And with every step taken she got closer,
And finally when she got to the end,
She was blessed with that besought crown
She then turned back on the battle field,
Not the same as she was
But as something greater,
The sceptre of a reckoned force.

And through it all, I cheered her on,
I cleared her path as best as I could

I held her with high regards,
As she got proud and bold
She didn't see me as that she saw me,
But as a mere pauper
She sourced for kings while she had me,
Scavenge from the garbage cans.
