Snip, Snip

Locked away, night and day

Mother told me to always look pretty,

I felt as though I was a pity,

She could leave the tower as she pleased,

Whenever she left I felt so teased,

I have been stuck here forever,

I always wished I had the freedom to go whereever,

I never knew why I was stuck in the tower,

The best I could do was listen to the rain shower,

One day as she was gone I found something shiny,

I was so excited to hold something so tiny,

I couldn't understand it's use,

Until I accidentally cut my hair loose,

Snip, snip

Snip, snip

Was all I could hear,

Now worrying about what mother would think brought me fear,

She came home old and leathery,

My hair falling lightly so feathery,

I felt free now,

I left the tower who needs her anyhow.
