Twirling Gowns and Embroidered Jerkins

How I wish I was a fairytale;

How I wish I wore gowns perfect

for twirling, and

how I wish I wore perfectly crisp

button-down shirts and

immaculately embroidered jerkins;

How I wish my eyeshadow really was

the stars brushed across my eyelids, and

how I wish I had rosy cheeks and a smile

sparkling as the sun;

How I wish I knew how to dance, and

had a prince charming to twirl me;

But perhaps I

do have a prince charming(kind

of, and I have friends with

flying hair and arms outstretched

to spin me), and

perhaps my eyeshadow is the stars, and

perhaps I do live a fairy tale;

So thank you (you

know who you are) for

writing me into your own stories.
