High School

We started our journey,
Fresh scents in this big new world.
Tried new things, had no worry.
Found love, our fingers together are curled,
As one, and then torn apart in a hurry.
Creating pain and sadness and furry.
Went to our first prom.
Experienced all the unusual drama,
Only to come crying to mom.
Didn’t do anything you didn’t wanna.
Time went by way too fast,
I wish I could’ve made it last.
Because now I see the end.
Which is a new beginning, with a new friend.

Princesses Don't Exist

I want to be his love
I have to have his heart
But I will always be myself

His dream of perfect is perfect
He longs for The Fantasy Girl
Bay Watch Barbie Body
Without the mind games and drama
Could he see that with me?

I’m not no fairytale princess
I wasn’t locked away to be rescued
Frog Princes and knights don’t catch my eye
Defend myself and keep my voice is what I’ll do.
Could I see this with you?

Long walks on the beach at sunset
Candle lit dinners for two
Horseback riding in flowery meadows
All without a single dispute
Does he see that with me?

I’m not no fairytale princess
I wasn’t locked away to be rescued
Frog Princes and knights don’t catch my eye
Defend myself and keep my voice is what I’ll do.
Do I see this with you?

Homemade meals after a day at work
He never has to life a finger to clean
Laundry is fresh and pressed
The sports channel is always on
Did he think that was me?

I’m not no fairytale princess
I wasn’t locked away to be rescued
Frog Princes and knights don’t catch my eye
Defend myself and keep my voice is what I’ll do.
I never saw this with you.

You’re delusional if you think it
I was raised to hold my own
Me fake it? You must be ill
Because princesses don’t exist.
