Rapunzel the Alchemist


Once upon a time there was a girl named Rapunzel

She used her hair as a ladder so one wouldn't tumble

Her soul was a tunnel with a glimmer of light 

She knew in her heart that this couldn't be life     

Locked in a tower for 24 hours

Day after day her reality soured 

Year after year she lost sight of her power 

Then one day, she came to the conclusion 

That her captivity was only an illusion 

What if this was all just dream?

And alchemy wasn't as hard as it seemed? 

So She focused her intentions on a different dimension 

Where others wouldn't use her to impose their affliction

She was quiet to listen 

To the eye of her vision

For her highest depiction 

Her curse became lifted 

Abundantly gifted 

To the prosperous spirit 

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel 

Let down your hair!"

She manifested stairs,

So no one was there.
