A Failed Dream
Oh, such a girl!
Dainty and sweet,
Lovely and cheery,
With red rosy cheeks!
No one would see
Past her little dark eyes,
The dream she had,
To fly through the skies!
They told her 'no,'
(It was never 'yes,')
They'd crush her and mush her
For she was 'Princess'
The ones that laughed
And pointed and sneered
Until her dreams crashed
And became unclear!
Those little dark eyes
Had turned pitch black;
No color, no sun,
No more to lack!
Her smile was gone,
But fabricated,
Such weak curved lips,
But elaborated!
She hid it well,
Those crying sobs,
'Til HE came forth
(A local heartthrob!)
'Was he a prince?'
They'd mutter
