Ice Empire from 生まれたての雪 by Lycopene

Icicle crown
I’m in control
Frozen in time
I own it all
A blanket of snow
It covers the wounds
It conceals the shadows dancing
As far as it reaches, I will call it my empire
Soldiers cannot leave or abandon when they’re frozen in place
Frozen with a smile on their face, they will fight for peace
Snow falls day and night
The wind blows it away
A flurry of security and happiness, I have it all
Rightful heir this will all be yours
A flurry of security and happiness, I will make it mine
A body shatters so easily in ice

But I won’t forget the crash and pain when the crown falls
Shattering on frozen floors now melting in the sun
A warm August a cruel reminder everything is temporary
A feeling of permanence is a dangerous lie to believe

And I won’t forget everything could shatter in a moment
Or it could melt away losing shape day by day
And I won’t forget for every loving hand to help you up
A million more eager to tear you down and take what’s left as salvage
For you, I could try to trust so you won’t be scared but
To ignore the damage dealt and the lessons learned in a selfish world is foolish
Be better than me, be better than the husks of humans who wander here
For when the crown is your treasure to wear, you’ll look out to the dark and find that they need a savior

For I have nothing but hate
Because I’m done giving them chances
Because I have no hope
Because any one of them could be you
