in another life

Once upon a time I was a princess,
Hiding in a castle from the world.
A knight in shining armor for my love,
And so I thought would be my fate.

Until one day the spell was broken,
So quickly did the doubt appear.
I found myself unsatisfied, wanting more,
So I turned to the next chapter.

No longer was my life a fairy tale,
I was just a girl wandering the wide world.
Looking, searching for my identity,
And then there was another.

A helping hand, an empathetic ear to listen,
And a keen intellect to help me find
My own way through the tangled labyrinth
That I’ve learned to be the Real World.
