my life as

I am Charlotte, they brought me here,
 To wear this crown, to hide my fear.
 Married young to a man unknown,
 A queen, a wife, but all alone. They see my grace, they see my smile,
 But deep inside, it’s been a trial.
 With every whisper, every gaze,
 I’ve walked through fire in this maze. 
 Through the court and through the lies,
 Behind my crown, a heart that cries.
 I’ve stood so tall, I’ve played my part,
 But who will hear my quiet heart?
 Through George’s madness, through the pain,
 I held him close, I took the strain.
 But in the silence of the night,
 I wonder if I’ll be alright. 
 I’ve borne his children, I’ve ruled his land,
 With steady grace and steady hand.
 But in his eyes, I saw him fade,
 The king I loved, now lost, afraid. They tell me, “Charlotte, be strong, be brave,”
 But they don’t know the love I gave.
 A kingdom’s weight upon my back,
 But it’s the love I’ve had to lack.
 I am more than just a queen,
 More than what the world has seen.
 I’ve loved, I’ve lost, I’ve carried on,
 But sometimes I feel I don’t belong. 
 I am Charlotte, I stand alone,
 In this castle, cold as stone.
 But even though the night is long,
 I’ll carry on, I’ll stay strong.
 For I am Charlotte, I’m more than they know,
 A queen, a woman, with a heart below.
