I'm the youngest of three.
My gender wasn't a choice.
You see me as a girl.
But that's not what I am.

Don't call me a princess.
Don't call me a queen.
Don't call me a peasant girl.
Because I'm none of those things.

Call me a PRINCE.
Call me a KING.
Call me a peasant BOY.
Because THAT'S what I am.

Please don't call me a princess.
Because I'm a boy, not a girl.
Don't call me a queen.
Because I'm a man, not a woman.
Don't call me a peasant girl.
Because I'm a lad not a lady.

Don't call me a princess.
