Rapunzel, Rapunzel

Rapunzel sat in a tower 

so incredibly tall

That it made the length of her hair

appear small.

Rapunzel sat and in a tower

and bawled and cried

"I could get out of here," she thought

"If I wasn't scared of heights!"

You see the window was unlocked

And a ladder propped up

She could climb down if she wanted

But her fears left her stuck

She would go up to the window

every day at noon

But she never had the courage

and it wouldn't come soon

She believed that someday

her Prince would save her

so facing her fears

seemed like a pointless endeavor

But as she aged 

and death grew near

she gave up on a prince

and faced her fear

She climbed down and down

one rung at a time

And she realized how long 

she spent wasting her life

Hoping on hope

for a miracle to transpire

when all she needed

was the strength inside her
