Princess Damsel


Since when did Princess

mean damsel in distress?

 

Since when did beauty

become our strict standard?

 

Since when did worth

correlate to marriage?

 

I am intelligent 

I am resiliant 

I am resplendent 

 

In that order

Exactly

I am worthy of my own story 

 

Since when did Princess

mean damsel in distress?
