to the man i once loved: a poetry

Fantasies

I'm no princess.
I'll never be Cinderella
who can leave a glass slipper
just to be sought by a prince.
All I have is a pair of sneakers.

I'll never be Snow White
who was envied by a witch,
and kissed by a prince to live.
I'm no princess with such beauty.

I'll never be Belle
who'd at least paired to her Beast.
I'll never be like her.
Even beasts hate me.

I am no princess,
all I have is a jar
filled with lifeless fantasies.
