Hair like a black raven

Face as white as snow

The Queen asked the mirror, wishing she could know

The fairest in all the land

Used to be her, her skin like sand

Now her sweet step-daughter

She was starting to love

Pushed and shoved

Her way up above

With a flip of a book

She made up a plan

Snow White couldn’t stay here

She told the mirrored man

Snow White ran and trembled with fear

As the trees w...

Once there was a beautiful girl with hair with curls like seashells and the color of beaten gold

For one with so much promise she never grew to be very old

For beauty and promise attract jealousy

Which in itself has the power to be

quite frightening to behold

So let us just get on with this famous story of old

Our Goldilocks has been portrayed as selfish vain and coy

But history is written onl...

Solid do I stand

Borne from sky to land

For the true kings hand

To pull me free

And gather fine knights

To serve and to fight

For those without might

From land to sea

Until dark befall

Avalon and all

They will heed the call

And forge their way

To their long quests end

For those they defend

And the realm to mend

Itself one day.

...

Mirror mirror

On the wall

Whose the sexiest

Of them all

Who has the longest hair

And the most kissable lips

It’s not fair

And the most beautiful hips

It’s hardly me

Or my friends

But her

And her...

Spare

Once upon a time

There was a young princess.

She had four older sisters.

And 3 older brothers.

Her name was Princess Annet

As the youngest,

no one cared where she goes

Or what happens to her.

Everyone thinks of her as the spare.

With so many older siblings,

Princess Annet was allowed to run

Free.

She rarely wore her hair

Pinned up and tamed.

Her hair was most often wild and free

Or pinne...

I want to be a real boy

To feel a warmth in these palms

As my hands destroy

Ravaging, wrecking, devoid of calm

I want to be a real boy

I am telling lies by day

And I know you’re fooled too

With your slack jaw face, nothing to say

The only thing I’ve said that was ever true

“I want to be a real boy”...

I lied to her.

By nature I'm the only one who tells the truth.

That's the first thing anyone ever says about me,

But I lied to her because I'm very easy to break and she has a temper.

It didn't come naturally at first,

I won't have you thinking poorly of me,

Image, in my case, really is everything.

Lies stick in my throat like a little shard of me is breaking away,

But she asked me every single...

It’s a classic teen film but like…

Kind of sick of this trash

Wearing a bloodied sash

Yelling kick me bite me

Please just leave me be

Need some peace

Your insults don’t cease

Well how would you like it

If drama was tightly knit

Round you, life’s not worth living

Let’s let the telephone ring

Wouldn’t be for me, clearly not

Seen as my reputations rot

Kicking an untouchable thing

now I know ...

I only got my brightest hours

Then I'm going down.

Pray my glass heels don't shatter

When its time to skip town.

We move through the crowd.

Take my hands in yours.

You say I'm the prettiest.

I've say I've heard it before.

The birdsong speaks to me.

In the aftermath.

In the house turned prison.

In the blue mornings.

In the wake after the best dream I've ever had.

I had to go.

Maybe its just not ...

I grew up inside magazines,

Skinny little skeletons

Dance inside my head,

Brilliant golden silks ensnaring bodies so unfed.

They were beautiful angelfish,

Slicing through green water with

Angular rib cages. And there was me,

A bloated mess of fat. A whale sort of fish.

I sold my ugly tail, blubber for

Beauty. A shiny pair of thin

Little legs. A slender figure

Garmenting a menagerie of scales an...
