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.
