So here we are, it has come to pass
This poem as Prince shall be my very last
I’ve been incredibly lucky in this anoning game
To have everyone lusting, everyone saying my name
I never expected to get even a slice of this fame
I wish I had written to everyone, it’s such a shame
Sorry for those who I did not reach
I can only hope you enjoy this speech
Time got away from me, pulled me to reality
So here I am with this awful sense of finality

I’ve had a good run, two years is quite a while
And I’ve got news; soon I’ll walk down the aisle!
A wedding is in my future and it’s quite exciting too
Oh, I do wish I could invite all of you
She’s a lovely girl, this happy I never thought I could be
I’d resigned myself to a bride being chosen for me
When in she waltzed, it was rather unconventional
Falling for her was incredibly unintentional
She was a criminal you see and my mother is not a fan
But she is quite happy that this time it’s not a man

Thank you so much for everything you’ve ever done
I’d like to think that together we’ve all had fun
To my most loyal and very best fans – you know who you are
I can promise that I will never be far
I’ll leave this knowing I made some good friends
Even as this chapter has now come to an end
It must do so for a new one to begin
To say goodbye now though almost feels like a sin
It’s strange that I cannot seem to find the correct word
An eloquent, poetic writer such as myself – how absurd!

This experience overall has been sublime and I thank you
For everything you all did and all you still do
This would never have been the same without you all
I adored all the events and every guild ball
What better fans could I have asked for?
But there’s no sense dragging this out any more
The end is nigh, my final hour has come
This is good though; try not to feel so glum
And so to all of you
I must bid you adieu


(( OOC: I’ve not really done this before, speaking out of character, it’s a new and strange sensation that I shall only have to experience this once I suppose. I just wanted to say a few words as myself to thank you for everything you have all done for me. In the last few months I’ve heard about how I as Prince influenced people, inspired people to write, how my poetry cheered people up and made them feel better on bad days.

Let me just take this opportunity to tell you all how much you have helped me. I started doing this in 2011 and it has completely changed my life. The confidence and arrogance that Prince has is the complete opposite to myself, but I was able to use the confidence that being Prince gave me and see myself in a different light. I was in a bad relationship and finally had the strength to get out of it, I made new friends, I appeared outgoing and confident and it was almost like being born anew.

I’ve said before the one thing I ever wanted to do in life was to inspire, and change someones life with my writing and to have already done that with this is an overwhelming thought. I’m excited for what the world has next for me and I feel ready for it, if anyone wishes to speak then I will be updating Princes tumblr, although that will be mostly IC unless anyone has a particular yearning to get to know me OOC. I always said I would never reveal publicly, however and I will keep to that.

To everyone I didn’t reach in the last couple of weeks I apologise, I am so sorry I had hoped to send one to everyone but I just didn’t get the chance.
Thank you for all of this, it’s been quite a ride and I have enjoyed every second. ))
