Twisted Princesses (Rapunzel)

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your

hair, as her golden locks came slithering

down, a secret hidden.

 

Razor wire underneath, as it wrapped

around. Controlled from above, it cut

and shredded poor Flyn surrounded by

blonde blades, a smile from above.

 

A look of fear as her hair twisted tighter,

a thousand cuts, tortured by the girl in

the tower.

 

Never was it to keep love out, because all

that love has been a mirage of beauty,

hidden was her sin. She preferred to unleash

pain and death to those who thought she

was a prisoner within.

 

The girl in the tower not as fair as the tale

had once said. Hidden from those that she

wishes to do harm, the bushes fed by the

blood and bodies buried in shallow graves

around.

 

She was beauty that hid a darkness within,

her hair of blonde hiding death within,

nourished by the blood of those lacerated,

with the blades within.

 

Rapunzel, Rapunzel in a tower so high, to

keep you hidden from the world, for inside

the beauty is a secret, that is locked in this

tower, forever hidden protecting those from

the fairy tale lie.
