Once upon a time,
The princess couldn't stand
She lay motionless on the floor
Tears staining her shirt
And she wondered,
Why was it her who was in a tattered and tear stained gown
While the others seemed to glide blissfully across the ballroom floor
She knew nothing of the harmonious palace of which everyone else raved,
She only knew the pain of the cellar that she trapped herself in long ago
Dark
Rotten
Lacking in food, and love, and discovery
She saw nothing but pain
Trauma
And then,
Nothing
