The Voodoo Queen

I am not the girl I used to be

Crowns, jewels and an emerald sea

Used to entice and intrigue my eyes

Until I was resorted to swallowing flies. 

 

Now I've learned a trick or two

From my days of a frog coated in goo

I escaped that life on my own terms

That hideous swamp was flooded with worms.

 

Promised a future of glitz and glam

Honey I learned, men don't give a damn

He cheated and abandoned me, that dreamy Prince Naveen

So now I've become Tiana, the Voodoo Queen. 

 

Your parents warned you of the magic beyond

But I was sick of the flick of the wand

I can achieve my goals on my own

And with my spells I'm in the zone.

 

Frogs, toads, I've encountered them all

I suffered too long after his beckoning call

It drew me in and fooled me with a kiss

My experience was one I will never miss.

 

I play with evil and joke with the shadows in the dark

I whisper my tricks and make my mark.

The Princess and the Frog, what do you mean?

I'm not that girl, no I'm Tiana, The Voodoo Queen.
