As simple as a game of tic tac toe
I went from a queen to a pesent on the floor
From A thrown Of jewls
To rags and scraps
I ment nothimg and there was no turning back..
yes sir i will
just one second please
I found my self alone on my knees
How could i have done this...
What did i do so wrong.....
That i was de-throwned and my worth was now gone
from lashing to slap i tasted his pain
I embraced his anger and worshiped his name....
Untill the day I broke the glass and realized that i could go back
to my rightfull place among the best...
With my thrown and my crown ive forgotten the rest..
and now to a new game we've moved on
only in my game.....your the pawn

Fabulous poem!

This is reflective of what is going on around the world and I find it full of what I look for in a good poem.

Today's rich are yesterday' poor ascending higher from rags to riches

I'm not sure if this was about domestic abuse, rather than a change in status. It seemed to make more sense until the final few lines which made it difficult to follow.

Some of the lines are very weak, such as

How could i have done this...
What did i do so wrong.....
That i was de-throwned and my worth was now gone

when compared with

from lashing to slap i tasted his pain
I embraced his anger and worshiped his name....

which give a better insight to the narrator's situation.

A few careless typos, for example

'thrown' is the past tense of throw - I assume you mean 'throne'?

but a fair effort nonetheless

Yes, needs a little tidying up with spelling and typos...
But the last line is one of empowerment, of finally taking control of the situation. Thanks for sharing.
