Part lament, part invocation, Princess of Pain is a soul deep cry from the firstborn daughter who holds generations of sorrow in her chest and still finds a way to sing. This poem is for the women who feel too much, too often, in a world that asks them to feel less. It speaks in the language of dreams, of steam, of sacred spaces where grief becomes ritual and silence becomes song. A torch lit in the dark, Princess of Pain is not about breaking, it’s about becoming. A remembrance. A reckoning. A resurrection.
