These poems are dedicated the ones who never feel like they belong. For the misfits, outcasts, and those who are thrown aside. For the anger inside each person that can create a fire. A spark. This is for the unfiltered words, those words that aren't dared to be said. Maybe in this book, you'll find things that you can relate to. Or maybe you'll find things that you hate. Maybe this isn't your cup of tea, but these poems are not for anyone else but those who know the value of words. The words written may be messy, muddled, and confused. But they matter all the same. Here, every word matters. For in our darker hours, words are all that matter.

I was named after the little mermaid, thought to be strong and brave. A name worthy of a princess, my mum used to say. But I didn't trade my voice for the handsome prince; I just never had it. I've always been the shy youngest sister, too afraid to raise her voice and make herself heard. I don't have the tail and I don't have the personality. I can sing, but no one ever hears me. I guess I only I have the red hair although it's not even naturally red. So how can I be part of his world when I can't even tell him my name? I better never meet the handsome prince, it'd be doomed to fail. So no, I'm not like the little mermaid, I'm just little shy Ariel. -:-:-:- BOOK #2 in the Aware Princess Series flower: Daisy, it symbolises "Innocence, loyal love, simplicity."
