I'm Not A Princess

Woah, I'm not a princess,

A damsel in distress,

Wearing a sparkly dress,

Waiting for you to undress

Me under the bedsheet.

When you think I'm meant to be syrupy-sweet,

But in reality, I can also be a beast.

I'm bittersweet!

Oh, I don't listen and obey

To all the words you have to say,

Playing a doll and following your way

Until I'm old and grey.

I'm not Cinderella standing with patience,

Clad in a ball gown with a stunning appearance,

Holding your hand and obeying for a dance,

Possessing a 'good girl' stance.

I'm not Aurora waiting for your true love's kiss,

Nor Snow White ready to clean your dish,

I don't bow to every command that you wish,

I'm not a doll who sits, smiles, and flourishes.

Like Ariel, I stand independently on my own two feet.

Like Belle, I smile sickly at whoever I meet.

I can earn my own bread and wheat,

Like a man, I can get everything I want in a beat.

Don't let my gender fool you, I don't need to be rescued

With your money, shelter, and food,

I can snarl, snap, and be rude,

I have a dream that has to be pursued.

I can work myself,

Without your damn help,

Trust me, I won't yelp,

I'm a girl who can do everything by herself.

Like Rapunzel, I have a dream

That sparkles and gleams

With the rise of every morning beam,

Trust me, I don't need you even when I scream.

If I'm a tomboy,

And you a playboy,

I ain't letting you destroy

by playing me like a toy.

Once again, I'm not a princess in a fairytale

Waiting to be rescued from a mighty dragon with a scale,

I'm not a girl weak and frail.

I'm a Queen, and I'll never wail.

I wear my crown high,

Without the support of a king or a guy,

If I had a sword, it'd reach the sky,

Don't ask me why

Cause I'm smarter than a smiling doll,

I'm wiser, trust me, I won't fall.

It's not you that I'll ever call.

The bottom line is, I don't need you at all.
