once i was a child
with flowers in my hair
i dreamed of a prince in white
tall, dark, handsome, and fair

once i was a child
with flowers in my hair
my head was full of daydreams
and i felt without a care

and then i did

because when i was a child
I took the flowers from my hair
suddenly there was no prince
no mystery man, no pair

no strong arms to carry me down from the high tower that was suddenly growing up

instead it was a girl
some sort of goddess
her hair in spiral curls
her personality modest

suddenly i wasn't a child
but a girl lost in a fire
as the media around me shamed me
i held onto her tighter
