The mermaid drove a hard bargain

Flashing her distorting mirror

But the princess spoke to her, read her pages of writing

And the mermaid would list everything about it she noticed

The princess listened patiently, but didn't let the mermaids words drown out her own pride

The mermaid insisted that she would never leave

So the princess just held out her arms

And let the piercing words bounce off her armor

Made of her words, her accomplishments, her love

Until the mermaid bowed her head to the princess's strength
