Rapunzel's Haircut

I'm Rapunzel and I've just cut my hair off.

It meant freedom at the beginning,

But now I can see

I'm still trapped.

How am I supposed to get down now?

Hayley Williams said "burry the castle",

It must be nice to be out and to have a shovel.

The window is actually not that high,

I could easily climb down.

The doors are not really made of stone,

I could easily go out.

But they'd call for me.

"Where are you going? Are you going alone? I am going with you. Why can't I go with you? Why do you hate me?"

So I stay.

All the rooms of all the houses I've lived in

Had doors made of stone

Even though the voice was not there.

And I had to pull every day on my way out,

And push every day on my way in.

I did not build muscle,

In fact, I got sore at first and then I got injured.

So I went back to the castle,

Where the voice chases me.

I'm stuck in my bed

Like this was a madhouse,

Well, I'm mad and I live here.

I found out people can be healing for me

And I already knew that people can be damaging for me.

I have to get down

All by myself.

I'm Rapunzel and I can't stop trimming my hair,

I'm growing out a mullet

But never again a mane.

I'm Rapunzel and I need to get out,

I need to seek my healing people,

I need to find my place,

I need to open my doors more easily

Without growing my hair.
