She's not like those other girls.
She doesn't have a Romeo by her side
who'd rather kill himself than to see her die,
so
she will save herself from a sinking ship
because there will be no Jack who will keep her safe.
She will never fly to Neverland
because she doesn't have her own Peterpan.
She will not wait for a man, instead she'll cut her long hair.
She'll set herself free by going down that tower.
She will strive hard to make her life better
without the help of any prince who'll marry her
because
she's not a damsel in distress
who needs a man to avoid being depressed.
She's not as weak as those princesses
who need a prince who will give them happiness.
She just needs a pen,
and she can make anything happen.
No, she's not like those other girls who are pretty,
but yes, she's happy.
She has her strength, she has her voice.
Whatever she'll be, that's her choice.
She maybe faceless,
but this girl will never be voiceless.
