I am not in love with a beast On the outside at least I am not trapped in a castle Yet sometimes living in my apartment can be a hassle I don’t need saving I can handle my own braving I am self-serving At times I can see where this would be unnerving I don’t need a brave prince I gave up on that long since you decided my heart is what we should mince I’m not afraid to get muddy As long as it doesn’t get too bloody Breaking a nail won’t faze me I lack the self-control to restrain from stealing off the forbidden tree But this time I promise you I won’t be the only one that pays a fee When life gets tough I won’t resort to accepting less then I deserve Myself comes first to people I serve I face my fears head on Even if that means he will soon be gone I am not dainty, weak or frail I will take on any male I am not always compliant Nor will I be completely reliant If I am too much to attend to Then adieu! And on with the new
