I am Tiana On my feet until I can't go any longer Promising myself everything will be worthwhile And that all my dreams will come true. I am Merida Trying to find my own path Desperately trying to evade my fate Staying brave for everyone, including myself. I am Rapunzel A little bit conflicted sometimes Dreaming of an adventure But not to betray what she knows. I am Mulan Willing to be unconventional And ready to protect her home and family From dishonor and shame. I am Belle Making the best of seemingly impossible situations Searching for knowledge and beauty within words Spreading light to the darkest of souls. I am Elsa Who just wants to be free To be able to use her gifts Without hurting the people she loves. I am me The girl who sang into a pink-and-white plastic karaoke machine To "I Won't Say I'm in Love" Who saw these women as strong and beautiful. I am a princess The author, main character, and narrator of my story Dancing to the beat of her own drum Taking life's problems and turning them into lessons. I am a heroine in my own right, Disney or no.
Before you ask, yes, I included a Frozen heroine. You got a problem with that?
