Princess Charming

Princess Charming

It always starts with a ‘Once upon a time’

But in my book, that phrase is but a big crime

Fantasies, myths and stories that rhyme

Fairytales that inspire an innocent girl’s mind.

The handsome prince looks for a wonderful girl to meet

And when he does, he’ll slip the glass slipper unto her feet

Then they fall in love—it always goes that way

Don’t you think it’s already a bit too cliché?

Now let’s hear my side of the story

Let’s put down the book and take a glance at reality

Once in a nearby town there lived a princess

She wore regular clothes, not some fancy new dress.

She lived up a tall tower, feeling lonely and sober

A dragon was guarding outside, with scales like armour

She didn’t lie on her bed and wait for a kiss

She got up on her own and she did this:

She opened her wardrobe and wore her own shining armour

She wielded her own sword and slayed the dragon with glamour

She saved herself, she set herself free

She never waited for somebody

They say good things come to those who wait

That’s why the girls in fairy-tales enjoy their wonderful fate

But not everybody’s story is a fairy-tale

Anybody’s life can be an quite an epic fail.

They fail if they wait and do nothing today

They fail if they do nothing and just pray

Good things come to those who wait

But the best things come to those who open their gates.

Daydreamer, wake up from your fantasy

Open your eyes and I shall welcome you to reality

You can sleep around and dream all you want

But if you want the dream to come true then try to be more blunt.

Get off your bed, wipe off that drool

Go chase your dreams and don’t be a fool

You are your own saviour, you’re not a tool

You’re a true princess, and you’re ready to rule.
