![]() Prince Charming is the jewel You spend your whole life looking for, The prize that affirms your worth Through kisses and words of love, The perfect man, who shields you From your mundane existence. Prince Charming, whose elegance Overshadows your clumsiness, Whose muscled arms distract From the scars on your arms, Whose winning smiles erase The hatred so many have for you. Your Prince Charming
Doesn’t care that you cry When you look in the mirror He finds your tears beautiful. He dutifully holds your waist Whenever you try to run Off the cliff. You don’t know Prince Charming Is, in fact, your own solitary cell The smooth walls of his perfection Keeping you from smashing All the spikes inside of you He keeps you sane But he keeps you trapped. Prince Charming can’t see You’re the reason There’s venom in your veins You were the snake And the deer it killed There is no Prince Charming Capable of saving you. Comments are closed.
