Once Upon Now You Know


Once Upon a Time....

The glass slipper fit the foot,

A prince kissed a temporarily dead princess,

The princess kissed the frog,

And a mermaid made off with her talent and the human prince.

I was made the town joke for creating 2 desperate daughters that now no man will marry. I won't leave my home.

As I was falling to my death because 7 dwarfs chased me off a cliff, as I fell I just wondered what it would've been like to be loved like she was.

I turned to voodoo for the high life I wanted  for myself , until I realized that all magic comes with a price. Now I'm the froggy prince..who's lips will only know debt.

I was struck in the heart with a boat. All because I wanted to help. My beautiful voice was once stolen from me and my dreams she now has. I just wanted to teach her a lesson. 

Once upon a time ,villains were misunderstood.

Once upon a time and now you know.
