Not Your Princess

sarahgamal • 351 followers

I might not be your Cinderella
But you ain't my Prince Charming
You act like a hot shot fella
But your arms ain't that warming

I might not be your Snow White
Waiting for your kiss to bloom
But I am sure as hell you ain't my knight
For your lies I have no room

I might not be your Belle
Waiting for you to tame your beast
I finally got the key to my cell
And am throwing my own love feast

I may not be your Repunzel
With all the beauty and the very long hair
But in this prison I learned how to climb a hill
Move along now I need some air

#sundayrepost. I might not be your Cinderella. But you ain't my Prince Charming. You act like a hot shot fella. But your arms ain't that warming. I might not be your Snow White.

Boring Princes.

There's little point to life as a princess in a tower, Gazing out for princes and sitting by the hour.

I Am Strong

I am strong. Because I am woman. I am strong. Because rain I can summon. I am strong. Because when hurt I can shed a tear. I am strong. Because I acknowledge my fears. I am strong.

I Am Free

I am free. Because I found me. I am free. Because beyond looks I can see. I am free. Because I no longer scream. I am free. Because of the impossible I always dream. I am free.

Keys (05)

She's all woman, No longer a girl. She's a growing, Evolving Superhuman, Making her mark On the world. Opening doors To freedom, Leaving behind Bags Once full, With lessons Now learned.

Life Revolution

Its time for me to be me. For the whole world to see. No more thousand yard stare. No more moaning 'its not fair'. The time to live is here. Stepping forward without fear. No more tactics of delay.

I'll Be Heard.

I won't go down so quiet, I'll scream and sing and shout, Let the world hear all my words, Just let me yell them out.

@RichWithey hmmmmm giving u too options. 1. Either take this one and answer back harshly (can't see u doing it mellow) Or 2. At this time and age with laws of governments and religions everywhere are women really free? Here is u have questions or I can think of something else😘
