More to a Princess than Glass Slippers

Cinderella wanted to change herself to look better at the ball,
She thought that noone would notice her, until she had it all
Only a fancy dress and glass slippers would catch the prince's eye,
If she'd shown up in rags and an old grey bonnet, there wouldn't even be a goodbye

All Little Red was ever known for was her scarlet coloured hood,
Not for the bravery that she'd taken with her to the dark, cruel woods
Did anyone ever call her for the name she was born with, did anyone ever know,
If one didn't care for appearance in all, would she still be known for her cloak

Lips as red as a rose, hair as back as ebony, skin as white as snow,
If she hadn't been titled 'Fairest in the land', noone would ever know
There wouldn't be a story if the characters didn't compete, on who was the prettiest of them all,
No seven dwarves or the forest creatures, if Snow White hadn't looked like a doll

If Rapunzel didn't have the most beautiful hair,
Do you think Mother Gothel would've even cared
Would she have locked her high up in a tower,
If it weren't for the magic golden flower

If appearances weren't deceptive, who knows what would change,
In these unique fairytales, if they were rearranged
Princesses weren't known for their outer beauty,
But rather for their intelligence, bravery and duties
Noone would remember them for who they were outside,
It was their inner personalities that'd outshone the lies

Mulan was known for bravery, Merida for independence
Belle was known for her unique mindset, Tiana for finding transcendence
Moana had vigour in mentality, noone could bring her down,
Elsa proved she didn't need a man, noone could take away her crown
Ariel had a curious nature, she shouldn't be known for her mermaid tail,
For there was so much depth in her personality, to appreciate we've already failed

There's so much more to a pretty face that people must come to see,
That you must dig deeper to find the real you, there's more to real beauty.
