I would ask the question, "what do I want her to hear?" That she is strong? That she needs to slow down? That she is pushing too hard? That she her "rage" is a cover? She needs to be sweet or a fighter? I am just not sure what you want to tell her.
There's no place for them where you're going.
You are ice and thunder, the storm in spring, Too much? Is ice and thunder necessary?
and it's time you remembered you have wings.
You have too much heart and not enough years;
you think your kindness makes you weak.
You've wrapped yourself in rage and cruelty.Is "and cruelty" necessary, does it weaken a powerful line?
You've forgotten how to breathe.
You want to stand on the ashes of cities
and cut kingdoms down to their knees.
But you have to learn how to wait, girl.
You're strong but you're just sixteen.
There is nothing wrong with fighting,
but there's nothing wrong with being sweet.
There's more than one way to win a crown.
There's more than one way to be queen.
