Short Poems

No Damn Princess

I want to be Cinderella at the ball,
I want to dance with my prince.
I want a happily ever after.
But that isn't my fate.
I am a servant girl,
Slaving to the world.
Slaving to people who don't want me.
I'm living up in a tower of low esteem and depression.
I'm fighting the urge to jump out of my window,
But I know the fall is farther than the ground.
The fall will take me to a place where I may never be happy.
So,
I fight day in and day out to keep a smile on my face.
Maybe someday I'll find my prince,
And we'll get married and I'll be queen and he'll be king,
We'll have little princes and princesses.
But isn't that all such a beautiful fantasy?
Most people don't want To be apart of a family because of the duties as a parent.
I can't wait till I'm holding my new born,
And I see them open their eyes,
And they see me,
And suddenly feel loved.
I'd protect the little thing.
God...
If I had a baby girl...
She's brighten my day everyday as she grows to be a young lady.
If I had a baby boy,
I'd watch and wonder,
As I watch him grow.
Hugging and kissing them,
Tell stories at night,
Rereading the same book 1000 times,
Just because it's their favorite.
Packing them lunches and taking them to school.
Hearing their stories of their day at school.
The silly and stupid moments captured on camera....
God, I'd never be lonely.
I want to have a strong house.
Both parents,
Devoted and loyal.
Loving and caring.
I may never be rich and be able to buy them everything they want.
I may not be able to send us on vacations to the Bahamas....
But I'd take them to the park,
To the movies,
Out to eat,
To the mall.
Take them out of state for a week.
I'd give them the life I never had.
I'd do anything just to see them happy.
I remember when I said I didn't want children...
But now that I think of it...
I do...
