Regan

Regan.

It flows out of your mouth in such elegance,

And floats through the air as light as a feather.

Everything about it is soft and subtle.

The simple consonants,

Starting with a whisper of an r,

Adding a hint of g,

And ending with just a pinch of n,

Keeping fluidity that is envious.

Regan.

Like a beautiful silk gown,

Layer upon layer of gorgeous emerald fabric,

Shimmering under the light.

But even royalty comes with a price.

The power overwhelms you,

Your greed tempts you into killing your father

And your life is ended by a jealous sister.

You become the leader of the free workd

And live a long a happy life.

At a young age a demon finds you

And chooses you as its host.

Regan.

Evil, greedy, jealous.

Strong, kind, inspiring.

Innocent, vulnerable, afraid.

Which will you be?
