Fairytale

In a dream I lived life enchanted, to myself, it seemed A beautiful Princess, I posed to be, Grace and elegance, for the world to see Fate had different plans in store I was knocked down to the floor Each step toward my fairytale Pushed back; wicked the wicked gale To sing like a nightingale A voice, a cracking wail Animals ignored me, turned in disdain I wasn't a princess, just a child so vain My dancing clumsy, my feet all amiss, Tripping over my hopes, with every missed twist The princess passed by me, without a glance Slumped down, alone, without a chance My castle of dreams shattered and dust I am no Cinderella, just lost for the lust The depth of despair, a great shadow did form A beast with fierce flames, calming the storm I lost the tiara, and out came a roar Never a princess, a dragon, evermore. Wings that soar high, scales shining bright Embracing nature, with all of my might I won't be confined to a glass-slipper fate My wings spread wide, ready to elevate I am a dragon; fierce, strong; tried and tested Embracing the power, for that I vested.
