The princess wasn’t me.
And for once I am grateful.
I went into this agreement not really knowing what I wanted out of it.
I knew it made my parents happy that I went
And at the time that was all that mattered.
Then, I got to know all the people I was around,
Trust them, and even come to care for them.
In the end I really didn’t want to have to leave them.
I did not want to have to fulfill my obligation, my duty.
For once in my life I did not want to be the little princess.
I had realized want I wanted out of life,
I caught a glimpse of what happiness felt like
And I did not want to give it up.
My dreams had shifted.
My way was set, and I was happy.
