Somebody Always Had to
I was told that
Somebody Always had to
Be the peasant in
A princess story.
We Can’t all be the
Striving little wanna
Be kid with the dreams of being
the next
Celebrity.
The media only portray the
minorities as
The famous people
So, to escape the hood, you
Become
This Fairy-tale princess everyone
Whispers about.
The odds to magically
Morph into anyone
With a decent
Income boggles even the little
Lightbulbs we
All carry above our heads.
I was told that
Somebody always had to
Be the peasant in
A princess story.
It’s sad to
See
All those little
Lightbulbs shatter with
Their hopes because they
Never realized
That they were all the peasants
In someone
Else’s princess story.
