Princess Fairytale

Princess pink

what do you think

a white knight

is Mr. Right

to be his wife

for your life

what will you do

he’ll save you

from the mundane

schedule pain

routine boredom

suburban kingdom

happy is a moment

not a destination

nor a nation

not a permanent state

but neither is hate

fleeting emotion

face lotion

just smile

for a while

so no one worries

everyone scurries

ever after

if only laughter

else its sadness

a bit of madness

get in the routine 

daily scene

it ain’t no fairytale

eat your kale

save your self

you’ve hidden wealth

take off the tiara

Shed your demons

Shed your demons

let them burn

in the flames of memory

you can relearn

set your confidence

on fire

be your best you

reach your desires

its not real

its all in your mind

you’ve got to

leave it behind

create a new

landscape

forgive yourself

all your mistakes

you’re not thin

enough

you’re not smart 

enough

you’re not pretty

enough

you’re not good 

enough

it’s all in your head

don’t listen to what it said

you can think clearer

be your own superhero

be good to your self

for your own mental health

make the choice

to have a positive voice

let go of negative

its your prerogative

start by being kind

in your own mind
