No one warns the girls, about the boys with the pretty eyes and luring smile.
Princes with castles. Fairy tales and happily ever afters.
The girl who was promised the world, must settle for this blanket of limited ground.
A ground covered in fields of flowers, with hiding glass that glistens in the sun’s warm rays.
Keep walking now to that ledge, your happily ever after can be a few steps ahead.
Balancing on a tightrope of disappointments, catching your breath, yet your heart’s still wide open.
Tippy toe now. The harder you try, the closer to the fall. Nothing seems to be enough for the one who can’t see they already have it all. Another item on their belt, you will never be seen for who you are, so you bow down and do as you’re told.
Keep trying now you’re almost there. Another few steps a few more tears.
Stumble, catch yourself. Another disappointment, look at that. Always seem to take 3 steps forward, but 5 steps back.
Sacrificing it all as you stumble along. This journey does not have to end with you on the bottom of this ditch.
Run now girl, you can have it all. Take a deep breath and don’t fear the fall. You are worth more than that Prince will ever see. You don’t have to give up everything for someone who won’t do the same.
You take a look back and see that castle of lost dreams. You now know, everything is not always as it seems. One last step, you made it now. No more broken glass shattered under those feet.
