I was told there are galaxies under my skin,
Woven into the fabric of my mind.
So I tear myself apart searching for the stars within.
Fairy tales are often used to teach discipline.
Fantastical lies that seem to spellbind.
I was told there are galaxies under my skin.
Children do not doubt the words of their kin.
When they grow older truths are harder to find.
So they tear themselves apart searching for the stars within.
Snow White was nearly killed with a hairpin .
Coveted for the title she was assigned
Because there were galaxies under her skin.
I never looked like a perfect mannikin.
My outer beauty and self worth so intertwined.
So I tear myself apart searching for the stars within.
I’m waiting for my story to begin:
A tale of a child who became so misaligned.
I was told there are galaxies under my skin,
So I tear myself apart searching for the stars within.
