The Fairytale Endeth

She waited in her tower
00for a prince to set her free
She waited, oh so patiently
00for the day that she;d meet he.
By the window, she looked out
00and searched for signs of armor
Day and night she prayed and prayed
00for a meeting filled with splendor.
In her heart she sang of songs
00for the prince she has yet to meet.
She often worried about the that thought
00that a dragon he must beat.
Days turned to months and then to years
00but still she kept on waiting
Of fairytales and happy endings
00that's the promise she's expecting
One fateful day, by some mistake
00she found her door was open
Staring at the pathway down
00she kept her doubts unspoken.
And when she reached the outside world
00she looked back at the tower.
She realized witha heavy heart
00that in her was the power
All those years she waited
00for a prince who'd never come
What she needed was herself
00and courage, maybe some.
So she walked away from the tower
00for everything she knew
She started humming the prince's song
00she knew wasn't coming true
With a sign and a drop of tear
00she ended her dreams of glory
No more princes, no more castles
00she's making her own story.
