A New Fairy Tale


Time upon time upon time 
Sat a girl, lost in thought
Wondering when her prince would come-
Dreaming to be noticed
 
Until she realized 
Girls do not need a prince
She need not be sweet and submissive
But strong and brave
 
Ariel relinquished her voice for a man
Cinderella waited for a Fairy Godmother to venture
Belle fell in love prisoner
She knew it was time to make a new Fairy Tale
 
One where royalty isn't what it takes to be great
Where girls don't comply, but defy 
And fight so EVERYONE 
Lives happily ever after
