To Dream A Dream

Hear hear to the damsel in distress-

From the sleeping beauty,

To the woman as white as snow.

In each fairy tale...

In every adventure...

The women are the weak-

The injured.

And our saviors?

Our knights in shining armor?

The men who saddle upon their horses

Galloping to our rescue!

Because only men can save us.

Only men can rescue us from our towers.

From our dragons.

Trapping us with their flames

That ignites the fires of fear into our hearts!

No… we can’t save ourselves

We are not supposed to.

They wish for us to be weak

To be so fragile

That with the simplest wind-we may break

For a woman to dream a wonderful dream

It must be of being protected by those knights

It must be of being so dependent on those men,

That we can’t even stand.

But my dreams are not that of being saved.

No, MY dream is to be my own knight in shining armor.

To be my own savior.

To be my own rescuer.

My dream!

Is to show these princesses that you do NOT need a man.

You beautiful princesses don’t have to stay trapped in those towers set by society

Rewrite those stories

Rewrite the legends of adventure

And become independent instead of dependent

Allow the fire of that dragon to ignite hope and passion into your hearts!

Wrap your strong being in the warmth of power that will flow into your veins

Breaking that spell and giving you the power to fight

To take a stand

Because princess

You can

So dream a dream

That will give you power!

Give you strength!

And the ability to discover your own happiness for yourself.
