When You Wish Upon A Disney Star

Whether we admit it or not, at some point in our life, we've wanted to be Disney Princesses but sometimes not for the reasons we think. 

Her skin is not white as snow,
She's got no seven dwarfs in tow,
She wishes she could eat a poisoned apple,
So she'd fall into deep sleep and wouldn't feel so shackled

She feels like Cinderella,                  
Although they think she's more like Anastasia or Drizella,
She's got no Prince Charming,
In fact, her story is pretty haunting.

She has to drag herself out of bed everyday,
Most days she wishes she could prick her finger,
And like Aurora, fall into a deep deep slumber,
But she gets up and plasters on a smile anyway

She loves the ocean and it's clear blue water,
Very much like Triton's daughter,
Along the way she lost her voice,
Unlike Ariel, it wasn't by choice.

Held captive by the Beast to replace her father,
That's how she feels everyday while she silently suffers,
They'll never let her off the hook,
At least like Belle, she has her books.

She longs for someone to show her the world,
Shining, shimmering splendor all unfurled,
To run away is what she longs to do,
Maybe like Jasmine, she'll find her her Aladdin and Abu.

She wishes she has a Grandmother Willow,
To talk to when things were at an all time low,
And between the fighting of the two tribes,
If only someone like Pocahontas saved her before she became dead inside.

Everyday she goes to war even though it gives her the shivers,
Because she knew what the consequences would be,
Though she is not as swift as the coursing river,
Like Mulan, she tries not to bring dishonor to her family.

She's got big dreams,
But life has different plans it seems,
Life may not always go her way,
But like Tiana, she makes the best of it anyway.

Like Rapunzel, she is kept high up in a tower,
But her face is never sour,
If only it was that easy,
Let down her hair, climb down and she is free.

If only she was brave,
Like Merida with her bow and arrows and faith,
She tries to mend this bond torn by pride,
She's got so much of love for her family inside.

JN is the one who doesn't take chances, but she's working on that. She's powering through life, one day at a time. Even with all that life throws her, you'll always see her with a smile. She's a hopeless romantic, hopeless beyond repair. You may say she's a dreamer, but she's got her feet on the ground.
