Fairy Tale

By: Addison Lopez

She walked down the staircase

Beaming with joy

Heart excited

But brain paranoid

All this commotion

From one simple request

A princess in her own kingdom

Was simply just a guest

Rumors whispered around the old pine tree

Where she sat in the sun basking with glee

She picked up a flower and put it in her hair

But it flew away and all she did was stare

It was like a symbol, a sign

That it wasn't meant to be 

So she packed her bags and quickly fled
