Queen Price.
“But why won’t you go for the contest like the rest of us?”, they would ask,
“I am not interested jere.” Each time, I told them,
Little did they know that indeed I was,
Only that I had my eye on the bigger cake,
I knew I had to be patient and take great care,
If really I wanted it only for myself,
It is not that I am greedy,
I just won’t follow the status quo,
Neither would I obey any of the norms,
To outstand, I know I must stand out,
So waited, I did,
While they all flocked ahead to claim the price,
The price which I felt was too little,
Too little and did not befit my kind,
And it happened that I didn’t wait in vain,
For the reward was earned in full,
I brought down the house,
And won the queen price.
