Fairy tales are for girls! That seems to be the staple But who do you think Wrote these timless fables? Not just the women Conjured these epic tales Of princesses and beasts How the hero always prevails It's the men who want to hear Her desperate song from the tower We want to rescue her Before her witching hour Watch her exquisite face As she sleeps within her shell Knowing it's his destiny To rid her of the evil spell He wants to be her Knight Shielder, Protector, Defender, Prince nontheless Every girl wants her Hero But the guys need his Princess.

Mostly by men
Another night has fallen on you What have you seen in your life? As you stand in your Truth Your stand in your strength You've seen many others fall But you stand there strong and firm The bold branches that you sprawl So majestic With your royal crown You've earned the title While the rest have rotted and drowned Men have won And dreams have failed You didnt flick a leaf Or acknowledge a single tale You just keep on with your diligence In your own Honest perfection A lesson to be learned From the Oak's perception.

Integrity
Letting go can be tough Perhaps the harshest measure Many times we will face Changes that last forever "What if I'd done this?" "What if I'd done that?" Questions to go unanswered And irrelevant to the fact The adoption of acceptance Is your only quest The only option to be alloted Now swallow to digest Observe the tremble in your hands Your eyes begin glistening Your heart is in your ears But who's the one listening? As it courses through your veins Something celebrates in your heart Every storm runs out of rain The Truth in you prevails As you begin to emerge Once again to raise the sails You've let it run it's course You've stopped the irradic spinning Focusing on the Now Every breath a new begining The only stake it has claimed Is to your education Simply a reminder Of life's continuing alteration To err is only human And Forgiveness is Divine You, they, deserving or not Just turn the coin to see the shine Yes, we have a choice To see the brighter side We don't have to dwell In the illusion of The Lie Just as it came Let it go with an ease Accepting what it WAS Join your Self and thaw the freeze It will come again Your Knowing, now a weapon It has lost the ferocity Sanity no longer threatened You can call it thick skinned Or unwavering balance You can call it indifferent I will call it an Allowance.
