Loneliness is protective armour
Scorn but a badge of honour
Exclusion passes for marching-band music
Despair mere dress rehearsals
Fiery ordeals a mult- tiered crown
A luminous, glowing, glass slipper appears
Reflective of glorious, ethereal light
The golden starry stairway
Visible to seeing eyes
Beckons and entreats
Trials have melted away
Making way, for an Arch of Triumph
Her queenly nobility on regal, panoramic parade
As she is greeted by the king of hearts
A diamond chalice of sweet nectar
A garland of carnations, gladioli, and birds- of-paradise
