"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, you can do it on your own"

Once upon a time,

In a far away tower,

Lived a beautiful princess,

With little to no power.

In that tall and sad tower,

Her mother locked her away,

Shielded from the world,

There forever she would stay.

However, unlike any story,

unlike any girl,

Rapunzel didn’t need a man,

To come and change her world.

With her hair in one hand,

And a large hook in the other,

Rapunzel had faith in herself,

Unlike her mother.

She stood on the window pane,

With nothing but confidence,

And tied the hook to the tower,

With a heart of happiness.

Rapunzel threw her hair,

Through that large, rusty hook,

And gently slid down,

That lonely tower of books.

With her hair as the rope,

The princess slid down,

And completely free,

Her feet touched ground.

The grass between her toes,

the birds singing in her ears,

It all made Rapunzel happy,

Never again would she fear.

And there she ran,

With her life finally her own,

By herself she explored the world,

Yet she never felt alone.

For Princess Rapunzel,

Unlike any and all,

Did it all herself,

For her bravery was not small.
