Aurora is the definition of beauty- skinny and p-r-e-t-t-y.
Who needs a personality when men will fall for your appearance?
Ariel is selfless and brave.
Upon this hill
Beside my sheep
A counterfeit king
Drifting to sleep
Daisies and dandelions
Decorate my throne
And the bourgeoisie is made up
Of sheep alone
But, too soon
Wolf! Wolf!
A flash of grey
A hungry growl
Wolf! Wolf!
Angry looks
Hateful words
Wolf! Wolf!
Again they say
Again?
Once upon a time the most beautiful of souls was born
by a mother with but one hope in this world,
to give birth to a daughter with a heart so pure.
And it was so,
Once upon a time, there was a young wolf who roamed all alone. He was just a young pup when his mother was shot by the big bad hunter. He knew the danger of people ever since that day.
Snow White
Is beginning to notice
That when she dares
Take a bite
Out of the poison painted
Hearts of those who
Make themselves her monsters
Cinderella
Will be there
I suppose the Disney writers re-invented me as a mermaid in order to be more appealing to children
The harsh reality of how such a wonderful world could be sad, isn't exactly a children’s story
Once upon a time,
A princess sat inside a tomb
-a crystal coffin set by dwarves
beneath the light of crescent moon-
They watched her blink her glassy eyes
Grandmother dearest,
Do you remember when mother died?
Your only daughter yet you never cried.
Tangled in a situation.
Mom wont let me out of the house.
Captive in my own little world reading, painting, and cooking.
When will my life begin?
Once upon a time
there was a princess in distress
living way up high in a fortress
she cried out each day
the birds just flew away
when a princess came walkin by
Oh how alone he felt, and how unfair the cards he was dealt,
Hiding in the woods so no one could see his pain, a mind that was slowly going insane,
Each day achingly dragged on, but then one curious dawn,
You all know it:
The man who indulged in
Everything he could get his yellowing nails on.
From bread to cheese
To Meat to women.
Flower gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Repunzal with your hair so long
You're tried to escape for your 10th time
With bare feet and and grit teeth
You throw your hair down low
Once upon a time
The little mermaid dreamed.
She dreamed of the sky
And the things unseen.
She wanted to walk, and to run, and to jump,
But most of all, she wanted a pup.
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
what's the fear of having a fall
Down, Down into the hole.
If we're asleep we'll never console
the seven lost and greiving souls.
I see the light
Once upon a time there was a Prince
Many tales of him but most were just myths
The truth of the prince should soon be unveiled
For the tale of him saving the Princess was never real
Oh how I dream to be inanimate
To have chains that bind my soul
To disappear and become an object that amuses
The masses and crowds that adore me
How could one do this you may ask?
"Once upon a Time"
Oh what a phrase
But it is not true
It is just a haze.
What about the stories?
The ones we were told.
All with the brave princes
And the sparkly gold.
Once upon a time, I loved you
Though I couldn't get you out of my head
I still hated you
Once upon a time, we were infinite
Then we turned out to be limited
And I wondered why we still did it
"She left," my mouth had quivered
I hate the words that escaped my lips
My tears fall through all my wrinkles
And they reached my fingertips
I never thought this day would happen
Once upon a time,
John Smith talked about "savages",
and Pocahontas said, "bitch what?"
Once upon a time,
Sleeping Beauty woke from her sleep, looking at Prince Charming and said,
Once Upon a time,
“You really are a funny girl”
Is a statement that has followed me my whole life.
When I was young my father asked me why I didn’t like to play with the other kids,
There once was a girl named Snow White
Everyone in the land thought she was the most beautiful and bright
Except for the evil queen, who hated her a ton
Once upon a time, a baby girl was born.
Her curls were free and her eyes could smile.
A voice, so sweet, her being did adorn,
but without her legs, her life was full of trials.
Once Upon a Time there lived a girl, a happy little girl with a heart made of gold, a mind full of intelligence and a beautiful soul.But it wasn't her heart, her mind or her soul people saw. It was the mask she
Dad,
The amount of times I've been called little
Told I can't go outside the kingdom
Swim to see the sweet sunset take over
It's maddening
All I want is freedom; a voice for myself
Congratulations
You’ve made it this far so far
And I know you’ve made a lot
Of mistakes
But I still find reasons
To love you because
I know you try
You have always been there
For me
Ill be your snow white in eternal sleep
You think you can save me because you love me deep
But my soul is as black as rumplestilkens heart
I'm no one you can love
true love is only a part of a fairy tale start
Mirror mirror on the wall
What will be the death of us all?
She sat there making judgment of who is most fair
Where dreams come true, she lived a nightmare
I'm sitting here looking pretty trapped in my tower waiting for you.
At least that's what you think, my sweet prince.
My long hair all golden and blonde awaiting your climb.
Once Upon a Time...
Red Riding Hood,
a cruel Queen of the kingdom Natural.
A cruel women who would, because she could.
She lived in a place of the supernatural.
She was known for unfair treatment,
Present Day:
Mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go.
Not So Distant Past:
A red hooded figure appeared
Midnight shadows scattered
In the abby off tress a reflection glared
The hairy, smelly, dreaded worlf showed
Red eyes glared back, wold and hood
The mirror showed the truth
Everyone says Aladdin is my hero,
which is true, but let me tell you another
lingo.
I saved Aladdin
Yes me- Jasmine.
I helped Aladdin get off the streets
Yes me- Jasmine.
Once Upon A Time
There was nothing,
Nothing Magical that was seen,
Only the imagination to create.
Creations come to life,
In a magical castle far, far away
Lived a fair princess who waited each day
To be saved from atop the very tall tower
Which was guarded by a dragon for all the day’s hours.
Why must it be, that lessons are only learned from classics?
Or that fairytales never seem to talk about real human aspects?
Maybe Cinderella and the Prince didn't have a happily forever after,
Once Upon a Time...
a mother says as she is reading a little tale from long ago
her daughter as fair as snow with hair dark as a black cat
she looked like a domino
as she listened she looked at her mother
Her hand plunges into my chest
Grasping my heart tearing it out
She smiles wickedly as she begins to squeeze
My breath is short as I start to suffocate
Knees buckling while clutching my throat
Every morning the Prince calls me to polish his shoes
He wants them to shine like the eyes of his princess
The problem- he has searched endlessly for the perfect lover
Awake from her dream,
She started to wander,
Looking for the place,
The possibility of wonder;
"If only it were real,
If only it were not slumber",
But the Cheshire Cat,
once upon a time, a time in the distant.
a time for the future.
a time too far out of reach for the princess of today.
we are the the warriors, the godesses.
the nuturers,
the consultants,
Once upon a time
Post happily-ever-after
Two maidens, one old and one fair, met in a forest
A prison all their own
The old one tells of her woes
Rumpelstiltskin is the one fairy tale that I severely judge. As a quick summarization, the miller’s daughter is victim of her father’s insanity.
There once was a Baker
with piercing blue eyes,
a cranky old Baker
whom all despised.
There once was a Baker
with hair flaming red,
a crusty old Baker
a man many dread.
“You aren’t listening to me!” Little Red yelled at her mom.
“That is not how you are supposed to be! Now make your mother proud and stop trying to leave me.” Big Red yelled back.
Snow White must of been on crack,
To be at the arms of a stranger and take that fruity snack
In those shoes, how could Cinderella even walk?
I am a girl
whose all cooped up
in 200 sq ft
I wanna talk
I wanna walk
I wanna run free
I'm trapped and isolated
I'm bored and jaded
Please set me free
Yes I am a princess and so are you
Yes I am a princess with ratty hair and tattered shoes
but you must remember Cinderella was that way too
Must I be beautiful, wear an itchy dress?
Laying on the couch with my golden hair sprawled out. My big blue eyes are glued to movement beside me. I watch the figure move around through my rose tinted glasses. Putting down those pesky little hairs sticking out from his head. Setting the br
Burn me to the stake
Just like the spineless all do
Cluster all of your hate
And boil and stir in your own distasteful stew
Hail fire from your throne
Let the flames tattoo my skin
Rapunzel you're quite a sight!
Get up now or
the nieghbors might
think I've locked your door
When mom leaves, I quietly sit
atop my pillows
My room is lit
Once upon a time
She wasn't a princess
Once upon a time
She didn't know the prince
Once upon a time
Her life wasn't perfect
Once upon a time
Aurora’s torso moved like waves as she slept
Maleficent could no longer reach her there.
It took her away from realities cold grasp.
In the tide of dreams, she remained for a year.
Restless.
Waiting for her prince.
Her purpose.
Adhering to expectations
Carefully crafted by those before her.
Desiring to find her place
Within her tower.
The jewels and gold are worthless
