I kissed a frog. I threw a coin in a wishing well, made a wish with a magic lamp. I cried on the staircase, got lost in the woods. I went to the forest and lay down by a brook. I slept for a hundred years.
Why don't you treat me like the princess you say I am?
I broke my glass slipper, ate a poisoned apple, plunged a dagger into my heart. I crossed the ocean and nearly drowned.
I loved a beast.
You hurt me and told me it was love.
I took advice from a black widow. I ran from a wolf, killed three bears, turned to ice. I chopped off my hair and used it to escape. I fought to save the China that was myself, breakable.
I'm sorry I had to pull the trigger.
I fixed my crown, sang a song, ended a war. I followed a rabbit into a rabbit-hole and came out a queen.
And I lived happily ever after.
