Vintage Princess


I’ve stopped drinking from the wishing well of health Guaranteed to keep you young and make all your wishes Come true. Despite the try my will ran dry Has I came to the realization not everything is flawless Even fairytale princesses have flaws Falling for a kiss Holding on for something real in the end Snowhite got slipped a roofie Jasmine fell for a cheat Belle got Stockholm syndrome And fell for her kidnapper Aurora is a spoiled brat And Cinderella got lucky But who has tiny feet We all have our flaws I just choose not to sugar code it Where all princesses just a little modern Runaway from the alter just like Cinderella so unsure of love ever after Belle just a lot fearful of her kidnapper Rich has hell yet something’s missing just like Aurora Worried something will go wrong always holding on to drink Watching your every watch so much like Snowhite And skeptical of it all being a lie in the end just like Jasmine Because we are the real vintage princesses In black and white Yet shining has bright has a diamond Shining through the glass all in colors of the rainbow Because like a chandelier or kaleidoscope of colors We all deserve to catch our un-perfect imperfectly perfect fairytale Catching ends of rainbows Wearing ball gowns Waiting for that day we Get to switch to something More vintage white and elegant That fits just like a glove

Want to leave you breathless and wanting more. I want the words to echo in your ears at night, leave you inspiring to do more things you're passionate about, and dream more then you have before.
