Almost a princess <br />Missed it by inches <br />Another dream, she’ll never find <br />She never forgets <br />This gift…Tourette’s <br />Now it follows her all the time <br />She wonders why <br />They had to die <br />Tries to leave it all behind <br />The rhymes she makes <br />Happiness she fakes <br />She’s quite a poet in her mind <br />The girl in the mirror <br />With no one near her <br />Reality is so unkind <br />Church on day seven <br />Last chance for heaven <br />When roll is called…seats assigned <br />Accepted her duty <br />Not senile…just moody <br />Family… the ties that bind <br />Her crying eyes <br />Convenient lies <br />Responsibility now defined <br />Will he look for her? <br />Her knight in armor <br />Just a fantasy…she designed? <br />How will she look to him? <br />If ever she knew him <br />This tiny princess who never shined.<br /><br />maggie signaigo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/almost-a-princess/
