a princess roamed in realms of gold
alone and forsaken
lost in myths and illusions
when reality came
it was a shock
a sudden ****** into the world of the dark
sadness gave way to a greater pain
living alone was the easier task
but to live with a version of herself-
a sinister unhappy one
was too much to ask
slowly she found herself
morphing into a black witch
it was then that she decided
to make the switch
to open up her wings and fly
and never look back into the gloom
onwards she flew towards the sun
and the stars and the moon
and made them all her own
now she lives in palaces of light
and every day for her is a new flight
