WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a speech from the perspective of an abdicating monarch.

You could make up a fantasy world, set it in the past, or stick to modern day. Why is this ruler renouncing their throne?

Heavier Is The Head That Removes The Crown

Never imagined it would come to this point


Only God knows why he chose me to anoint


I cherished every aspect of my duty to you my people


Any excuse I make now would be utterly feeble


And treacherous to the memories we shared


One thing I can say for certain is that I cared


Thank you for your faith and trust in my reign


It breaks my soul to cause you this pain


A man only abdicates for one of two grounds


Love or scandal, not unfamiliar sounds


But I promise you I’m following my heart


Which you will always be in, even now as we part
