I’d write a fairy tale for you
Whispered my Prince Charming
And I said halt you may not
Because if you do write
A chronicle of my life
You’d leave out the little dark details
You’ll make your princess charming too
Perfect and beautiful
But without my flaws I cease to exist
So hear me world - The story of the Princess
Unfiltered and flawed
Honest and vulnerable
She gets insecure almost as easily
As a single whisper travels the room
She hides behinds her words
Because her feelings are too crude
She writes about her love
In metaphors and riddles
She never could tell them before
She dances when no one’s around
She sings Spanish tunes all wrong
But oh I wish you’d see her like that
Unfiltered for those rare moments
When her soul lit up
With a fire Zeus sent from up above
And her eyes sparked when she saw the fireflies
As they glittered brighter when around her
And she wondered whether they did so
To be friends with her
Or dispel the darkness she felt within
And she tries to drown her sorrows in drinks
In the deafening music of clubs and parties
And at times she’s the quietest girl in the corner
If only she could spot Jane Austen
Yes she’s crazy for love
But you’ll never see her admit it
I’ve seen her weak and vulnerable
Seeking validation
Giving it all up one moment
And scrambling for the pieces of her dreams the next
I’ve seen her all broken and shattered
So yes, your Princess was not perfect
She’s flawed
But it is because she fell that hard
That now she laughs in the face of storm
It is because she hurt so much
That now her love is so strong
It bends destiny from any devilious trick
It has up its sleeve
She’s scarred and she wear them
Like badges of victory
She walked her own way into the jungle
So stubbornly
Into the dragon’s lair
That society shunned her
And she emerged in the origin of dreams
And fell in love with the reality
That she had crafted
This is the story of the Princess
In all its honesty
Flawed but I daresay beautiful too.
