My Pen Bleeds

Power

They taught me about women caged in a tower,
With a pretty face and beautiful hairs.
They told me a prince would come,
And change her entire world.

What if she wasn't pretty, I asked.
What if her hair wasn't golden, I asked.
What if she was just a ordinary person with no magic, I asked.
Why would a prince fall for ordinary , I asked.

Why didn't the world teach me about the witch.
Who acquired the power she had.
Why didn't they tell me she had the power to destroy the world.
