The Pawn

Everyone saw her as a pawn.

On a checkered board she stalled.

All she could do was take a step or two.

Yet she waited for her chance to move.

While everything and everyone,

Hovered around the Knight, King and Queen.

The modest pawn slowly moved ahead unseen.

One step at a time, one box to another.

Until she reached the place she deserved.

Adorned her crown; embraced new powers.

She smiled not because she was proud.

She believed in herself, the world had to open its eyes.

For this Queen proved that she was just a pawn

Who did not stop until she got her Crown.
