Chapter 2
Electric Boogaloo

As I make my way through the forest,
stepping over the overgrown underbrush,
my battles of inner turmoil
are constantly raging on.

So many questions
for me to ask myself.
So many regrets
to look back at...

Ah, regret.
Never shy when delivering
that aching question:
What if? What if? What if?

My What if? is
- like most are -
completely outside of my control.

What if I weren’t the Prince?

Ah, I know the answer:
I’d be able to marry my beloved,
without consequence.

I pause midstep.
How foolish of me
to dwell.

What’s past is past.
I have my whole life ahead of me,
I’m barely eighteen years of age
There’s no need to fixate
on a 
a-
 
Here's chapter 2. I know, I know... it's short. 
As usual: like or comment if you liked the piece and have a nice day :)
