Mar 2015
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"
