The Tower Princess
Locked in a tower,
she’s called princess,
taken care of and safe—
unlike those locked out.
She smiles like a princess,
talks like a princess,
acts like a princess,
but she doesn’t
think like a princess.
She wonders how long
the charade will have to last,
she dreams of leaving the tower
for her humble childhood home,
she wishes on a star for the day
her name will be her own again.
Locked in a tower,
she’s called princess,
but outside the tower
she will get to be herself.
