Once upon a time...

They tell you to wait

For a man riding in on a white horse

While you remain confined within castle walls

With a dragon as a guardian

And shackles as a means of comfort

But that’s alright

Because he will come, you can rest assured

With silver and buffed armor

A sword capable of slaying any beast

A bright smile, charm and riches

Exactly what you have been waiting for

Saving you from solitude

But let me inform you

I refuse to wait

My story is not a fairytale

I can slay my own dragon

I can break my own chains

I am stronger than the charming man on the white horse

I can dazzle myself better than any bright smile or sparkle in his eye

Because before the sun rises I will be on my own horse

Riding away from captivity and confinement

Because I am no damn princess waiting for a prince

I am a queen

Loved and owned by a King

And the only way my story will be a fairytale

Is if I am the hero
