Repunzel

Folder: 
story of my life

My life has been so painful
for so long you see
I've tried to suck the poison out
but no matter what it never stays clean

I push and I pull
I scream and I fight
I'll do whatever it takes
to get back my life

It's a constant rollercoaster
always repeating around
the only thing you hear is my silent scream
no visible fear to be found.

Can I pretend to be bravery?
I'll stay awake all night
until dawn breaks through my window
and proves everything is alright.

My fairytale is painful
I don;t live a happy way
I've tried to take control so many times
but it feels it will never be okay

I wish I was like Repunzel
a prince could climb my hair
with the snap of two fingers
he would be right there.

What happened to this princess?
Where did her smile go?
It's lost in this painful life she's in
What happens, we will never know.
