Sleeping Beauty
By Muriel Palanca
My name is sleeping beauty
And I live inside a dream
This world is just so perfect
It’s so easy to believe.
I see you in the distance.
I see your smiling face.
You hold me like you love me.
With me, forever, you will stay.
If I just keep my eyes shut,
I’ll be free to live this lie.
Escaping from reality,
Ignoring the doubts in my mind.
If only I could stay here.
Please let me never wake.
For kissing me, without true love
Would cause my heart to break.
