Not Your Average Fairytale

Wed, 08/30/2017 - 19:45 -- Lace

Once upon a timeIn a faraway landLived a young princessToo pure for her land Though her parents loved her deeplyThey sent her awayTo a dragon-guarded castleShe spent the rest of her days Until that fateful dayWhen Prince Charming would arriveHe would save the princessThe dragon would die They would kissAnd they would wedAnd live happily ever afterSo the stories have said But what if the princessTook fate into her own handsBefriended the dragonAnd conquered her own lands In each fairytale we hearThe princess is savedBy a knight in shining armorWho many dangers he braved But the story they won't tellIs the one where the princessDoesn't wait for the knightShe saves herself in the process
