As a kid I wanted to be a princess. I wore dresses and tiaras, dreamt of castles and Auroras. Slept on mattresses over a pea, sat with Alice at tea. I ate a cookie and grew 6 feet tall, the toys at my feet were gone by nightfall. I let down my hair, hoping to find someone to care. I kissed frogs in hopes of finding a prince, but their slimy hands just made me wince. I begged for them to stop this behavior, deeply yearning for a savior. The frogs were killed by Hatter, his demeanor had me flattered. I trusted him so bad -- oh why did he have to be mad? I never became a princess. This is my goodbye. The apple in my hand I took from the witch,                                                      my savior, now waiting to die.
