Cinderella walked on glass
for a man who didn't know her name

Sleeping Beauty married
the first man she met

Ariel gave up everything
for the boy brown eyed Prince

They knew nothing
know nothing
of the men they marry

Ariel never spoke a word to the Prince
But she married him
And never saw her home or family again

Sleeping Beauty had never known men
But one kiss and she marries
How does she know that Phillip is the one

Cinderella was a slave that had never known kindness
One romantic night off and she's in love
They never said a word

How do you know
When your in love

How do you know
When someone loves you

Is it a spark in their eye
Or a tingle when you kiss

Or is there no tell
Is it all make believe
Stories we tell children
To make ourselves feel better about life
And love

Dear Me
         you are loved
                 you are smart
                        you are beautiful
Dear Me
        he didn't deserve you
             a real man will never raise a hand
                sometimes happily ever after takes awhile
Dear Me
         it's okay to cry
               it's okay to hurt
                     put the knife down
Dear Me
         I wish someone saw
            I wish I could help you
               I wish I could hug you and tell you it'll be okay
       But Dear Me your time has past,
let me move on
                      let me put you to rest
                                         go to sleep life is hard
                                                            ­but now it's my turn

Be badass
Be beautiful
Be everything
Be nothing
Be heard
But only speak when spoken too
Be patient
Be assertive
Don't be bossy
Don't get stressed
Don't let them see you crack
Be perfect
Be woman
