The Tragedies of Nicholas

Nicholas III

Such evil inside him,

He knows not of mercy.

Such anger inside him,

He knows not of peace.

Darkness has spread through his veins,

Yet love he does know of,

For he had met a boy who now

Holds his fragile heart.

Though they would never be kings together,

For the boy he loved was promised to his sister.

Nicholas IV

He's a new person to others,

But more familiar to himself

Than ever before.

He's now become the man

He was always meant to be,

He's now brought out

What had always been inside him.

He's a stranger to others,

But more trusted by himself than ever before.

Anger fear and sadness used to rule him,

Now he lives surrounded by

Happiness, strength, and certainty.
