In a place where gossip and jealousy reside
You were the jewel noticed by wandering eyes.
From the boys who crushed on you
To the older men who lust
You opened your heart to those you truly trust.
Untarnished and untamed. As pure as gold.
For you are a treasure they'd like to control.
But you didn't dare let them touch your crown.
