Ariel's Struggle


Why can't you see

I want to be like thee

To see the world like you do

To places only accessible with sock and shoe

 

Listen to me!

And see what I can be

I know that I look like a half mutant fish

But you don't get many opportunities like this

 

No, I don't need a Prince Eric

To leave a world that doesn't sell BIC

All I need is a dinglehopper

And lungs that can breathe air, not water
