Have An Open Mind
Have you ever thought maybe
Well it might be a little crazy
But what if fairytales were twisted
And maybe we all missed it
When we believed what we read
Instead of listening to what Rapunzel's mother would have said.
Every situation is set up like a test
And a mother does what she thinks is best.
To protect Rapunzel, she locked her in a tower
But the author made her seem so sour.
Being young made Rapunzel only see
All of the mystery she was missing daily.
Every maternal instinct has a good intention
But that's something the author forgets to mention.
Even though some would say
That she went about it in an entirely wrong way,
Listen to her side and maybe you'll realize
That it is important to see through all eyes.
Next time you are rejected
For having your own perspective,
Try to remember Rapunzel's mother
And how you believed one story, without the other.
Now you feel what Rapunzel's mother felt
When in reality, she was just trying to help.
Yes, understand what Rapunzel sees
But learning every story is a major key.
Sometimes we only see what we want
And we tend shut out what we should not.
Make sure you remain with an open mind
Because it's important in fairytales, but also for mankind.
