i have heard you all say
how wonderful it would be to meet prince charming
but had you lived any reality
you would find that he is quite alarming

we are here
in this place
with our clothes
and a smile upon our face

she looked as gorgeous –
as she had always done
but then, she had always –
picked her tulips in the sun

you define me by a condition
yet i am human
you talk of me growing up
yet you were not there

assessment only works on evidence
and the abused –
may abuse back
it is often true
there seems to be something you lack

i was not aware
that this is the way it should be
yet, i have settled down
content with my life and me

cannot stop thinking about you
which is ridiculous
and i know –
i should give this up
