Confessions of a Princess

Prince Charming, I have a confession to make

That may bring great sadness and pain,

I cannot be your princess anymore

I'm leaving, I'm going far away.

Thank you for finding my beautiful slipper

And returning it to me with your ring,

Thank you for asking me to be your bride

And for being the prince of my dreams.

Please don't take this the wrong way

And don't think the reason is you,

I have to start, the beginning of my life

I have to work and go to school.

It's time to close this storybook for good

Time to grow up and move on,

I'll never have a castle, or a prince, or a crown,

But I'll make the most of what comes along.

It's time for me to start, my own fairy tale

All my dragons and monsters, I'll kill them,

I find my own prince and pursue my own dreams

And someday, you will meet my children.
