I live in a forbidden tower Where I lay and count the hour For I am trapped by the things that will eat me alive See the monsters, they hide Deteriorating everything that lives inside There's all these things I wish I could say But my tongue's always tied My brain's always running Always two steps ahead Never doing, only worrying Even when the world has slowed down And the eyes have been shut And all the judgements put aside Still I find it easier to hide To leave all the thoughts that roam my mind Too scared to let them out and let them be free You see, a girl like me is many things Smart, Caring, Witty, And lovely But surely a coward somewhere in between I wish it was easy for me to explain how I feel I wish I could tell you what I really want to say But I'm always choked up Afraid to let people see me vulnerable My thoughts too insufferable The walls I built have grown Too scared to not be alone Maybe one day my prince will scale the walls He'll fight a couple battles Win a couple brawls He'll finally come to me and say *"There's no reason to worry for your dragons have been slain"
