“Keep your head up, your crown is falling”

You made me your princess

In a beautiful lace gown

Jeweled tiara upon my head


Set me up to be

A damsel in distress

Opened the gate for greatness

Had me enchanted

With your whimsical lies


Pressured by society

To keep the castle doors closed

To be the scared little girl locked away

Day after day


But I had become a queen  

“A phoenix from the ashes”

Reborn with an untouchable crown
