With my nose in a book
My eyes drawn down
I try to ignore them
They won't see my frown
The words flood the page
It makes me forget
The awful things they say
I promise myself that I won't quit
The stories come to life
It gives me hope
That I could find a prince
Or just someone to help me cope
I don't need a frog
I don't need a kiss
I will slay my own dragon
It will bring me pure bliss
It takes me away for a while
Before I crash back into reality
They call me out
And point out all the things wrong with me
So I dive right back in
To the world that never hurts me
I would be the princess
But I'm just a girl who is way too nerdy
But I can promise you this
One day I will be the princess of my own story
And you will regret the fact
That you ignored me in all my glory
