THE "FROGGY" PRINCE
Once there was a frog.
It wasn't, really.
He's a man- a prince, actually
who just felt like it.
There, near the window, he sat
witnessing people outside.
Negative thoughts running on his mind.
That he wasn't much to look at.
That's it's better to isolate himself.
Such a lonely existence!
Later that night, before he fall asleep.
He was surprised that in his room, appeared a witch.
She put him under a spell,
transformed her into that being
the same as his "froggy" feeling.
Green-skinned. Bulgy-eyed organism.
"No way! This can't be happening!"
He tried to scream.
No words came out.
He heard a raspy croak.
'I'm cursed!' he thought.
What would he do?
He looked around.
To his dismay, the witch was nowhere to be found.
Perhaps, he need a kiss from a beautiful maiden.
He shook his head.
He doubted.
Who would kiss him?
Just the thought of approaching every girl along the way,
they would be frightened and disgusted, pushing him away.
Then, he heard footsteps,
rolled his eyes toward the sound.
On all fours, he hopped and hopped
to where he could hide.
Too late!
Someone opened the door.
He caught a glimpse of a woman's figure.
"Wake up!" he heard.
Moment passed, then he realized.
It was just a dream.
A dream that would change him
to leave his "froggy" feeling behind,
to erase those doubts in his mind,
to learn making friends with himself first.
'Cause he's a person of worth,
regardless of his flaws.
It's an unchangeable truth.
