One Prince Charming to the next
people say they're so hard to find
and yet I seem to attract them

my first worked so hard to get his crown
making sure everyone loved him... every single person
once I hindered that I was abandoned... a lost cause in his mind

he was so kind
but I didn't have his endurance
I couldn't keep up the facade of caring for so many faceless opinions

so the next was the best kept secret I believe ever kept
everyone loved him while I stayed in the shadows
I liked the shadows but after awhile you wonder how he can lie so easily

I don't believe he ever lied to me
but he couldn't see far enough into the future
his life of lies would fall and I didn't want to be caught up in the destruction

the third had the word of mouth
his words were more beautiful than any poem I could ever write
and he always had everyone's full attention

yet as the relationship went
I began to hear what his words were really saying
and they just weren't so beautiful anymore

so after 3 prince Charmings
I began to feel for the princesses
its just so hard

so if I were to pick the most realistic
it be Sleeping Beauty 100 years of sleep
because with a prince everything is draining

honestly Cinderella
I'd rather stay locked in my room
with a pumpkin and some converse

than a carriage and glass shoes
living in a fake smile
with a million eyes constantly on you

so I've decided
I want a boy who'd rather I like him
than make a million strangers like him

and I know how selfish that must be
its childish and immature
but honestly I just don't care anymore

take me or leave me
but know one thing
I'm no princess
