snow white
I fell from the ivory tower
One dark and stormy night.
I was sent out into the woods
Resembling Snow White.
I was Naive and innocent
Also running for my life.
The hunter almost got me
But I sprinted out of sight.
I ran through the forest
As the demons chased me.
Screaming for help
But found no outside safety.
I stumbled through the trees
Looking for the light,
But time and time again
Saw nothing but the night.
I soon began to see
Prince charming was not coming,
I waited for the 7 dwarves
An experience quite humbling.
No one came to save me
I waited long enough.
So after years of torment
I picked myself back up.
I got lost many times
Because it can be
Really hard to see
The forest for the trees.
But I found a place to call my own
With the help of Mother Earth,
She was the prince I waited for
The one with me since birth.
At first this refuge was bare
Not built on solid foundation,
But through the years became
My most beautiful creation.
