Relax Modern Princess

No armour, no desire

to save her from captivity

no imagination for words

dead, seems chivalry

Overused and overruled

some women tend to fantasize

of any potential princes

that are over romanticized

If a thought is a thought

and a dream is a dream

are they not possible

if inspired by history?

The past is the past

we reside in modern times

so keep your thoughts as thoughts

and stop telling yourself lies

Why should it matter

if it’s not what it could?

Just because it’s possible

doesn’t mean that it should.

So calm yourself down

and wane your despair

if you don’t care it can’t hurt you

so why do you care?
