Not Your Princess

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

Not Your Princess

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.

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'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.

You Should Be Me

#sundayrepost. You should be me for an hour or two. You can be me and I can be you. Then we could see where each other is at. You'd be the snail and I'd be the rat.

The Bells Have Rung

#sundayrepost. From the dearly departed phrase comp I do believe. I fear my kin. My time has come. My songs been sang. My death knell rung. My flame that flickers. Shall soon burn out.
