'Realistic' My Ass

Look at my face,
No really,
Look at me,
Stare at me as long as you need to,

Do you see who I am,
What I look like,
How I got here,
What it took to get me here,

I'm an individual,
An individual who just like you,
Had their dreams crushed once,
Had their hope ripped from them,

At what age you you parents say,
"You can't do everything",
When they tell you at age 6,
"You can be anything you want to be",

Mine was at age 12,
"Dear now that you're older,
You have to start being realistic",
What do you mean 'realistic',

Weren't you the one that told me,
That I am a princess,
I'm going to make it no matter what,
You matter to everyone,

Weren't you the one that told me,
My opinions count,
As long as you smile,
Everyone will like you,

WEREN'T YOU THE ONE THAT TOLD ME,
I HAVE ANGELS WATCHING OVER ME,
THE EASTER BUNNY AND SANTA,
ARE TRULY TRULY REAL,

And yet you tell me to be 'realistic',
You know what,
I've got my own goals,
And I'm not gonna be 'realistic',

I'm gonna be awesome,
I'm gonna talk to myself,
Because my opinion is amazing,
And I'll be alright.

I'm a princess,
And to my girlfriend,
I'm the queen of her world,
and I think that's all that matters.
