Dozens of cooked up fairytales
you grew livin' in imagination
Mermaids are one of em
you wished beyond fascination

Perhaps the idea of being young forever
caught your attention
Or the state of flawless beauty
yearned your intention

Oh darling aren't you aware?
It's all just a fiction
There's good and evil, far and wide
if only you caught a tidal reflection

Why choose a scale skinned tail?
when you can stroll through grains of sand
You too can bathe in sunshine
adorned princess of the land

Copious beauty scattered throughout
yet you don't blink an eye
You thirst for the deep waters
relinquishing the world's allure nigh

Indeed magic Cascades in reality
if known to tapped right
A mortal life ain't that shoddy
just another realm of wright

Alas, had you been a mermaid
you'd rise to the surface waves
lay on a moonlight beamed rock
wishing human life enclaves.
