She lived in a fantasy

Where mermaids and dragons existed

and worries were far from the truth.

 

She was the queen

a ruler everyone loved

or so she told us.

 

But I knew deep down she was lying

She was a tyrant

a ruler everyone feared.

 

Her servants only obeying

because if they didn’t

 

“OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!”

 

She would yell

and soon they’d all be dead.

 

It wouldn't have mattered though

They were just brainless bodies,

following every order with no thought to think,

and faceless names,

identities not their own.

 

But how could I know all this?

They were just stories, right?

Yet I was a princess in training.

Too desperate and too naive

to hear that my future

rested in my own hands

 

It wasn't until I was thrown out of the castle

and into the common folk

that I had seen the reign of terror

She bestowed

 

But I could make no difference

I was all alone

Stuck in a twisted fairytale

where happily ever after was never seen

 

I used to live in a fantasy

where dragons and mermaids existed

and worries were far from the truth

But now I wake up to reality
