Once upon a time
There was a princess
Who lived in a beautiful palace
Surrounded
By friends
Flowering plants grew around it
The gates always wide open
Her people
Loved her
The enthusiastic
Optimistic
Girl
They knew she was
Her endless smiles
Were said to light up the world
Once upon a time
There was a princess
Who lived in a castle
All
Alone
Thick vines curled around it
Wicked thorns covering every inch
The people
Saw her
As the perfect
Flawless
Doll
They wanted her to be
Fake smiles
Were the only thing she knew now
Once upon a time
There was a princess
Who lived in a room
Barely
Living
Every door was shut
Every window locked
Her people
Drained her
Slowly
Steadily
Their expectations piled high as she watched silently from a distance
And then she was dead with pills in her hand
So what did they say then?
"Why didn't she ask for help?"
Not everyone lives happily ever after.
