They cut the crown off your head

And planted her somewhere else.

She thrived without you;

So, you grew thorns to defend yourself
against the cruel world.

Your spiky armor scratches my skin,

And you take a step back to watch me bleed.

You hurt others to protect yourself.

But I believe you’re not merely an antagonist.

You are instead several personalities that fused to make one.

Sweet, regal, vibrant, tough, healing –

I recognize your ability to protect society from disease

So that no one else will go through
what you did.
