what we need to be

Alice finally left wonderland
Peter finally grew up
Cinderella gave away her mice
And I finally gave up the masquerade

I gave all of it up
The years of telling myself who I must be
The years of comparing myself to everyone else
The years of telling myself I am not good enough

I am done
I will be me
I will not sit "like a lady"
I will not be quiet and let my voice be silenced
I am not those of which I pretend
I will make the world tremble at my feet

The world has broken us down into submission
We bow before a crown of deceived perfection
We think we must all be snow whites rather than Nani
We forget that Nani is far better for she did not bow to a king
She did as she must and let the men follow her lead

Do not lose what you are for what others think you need to be
The idea of men being the answer is absurd
Question the way things are
Start an earthquake with change
