I’m Not Your Cinderella

I'm not your Cinderella,
I'm not pretty or skinny like her.

I'm not Princess Tiana.
She's motivated, and I'm obscure.

Im not basic like these princesses, yet I have my own magic.

But..If you get to know me, you'd realize I'm not plastic. 
 

I'm brave like Rapunzel,
Who fights men with kitchen tools

Or Moana and Meridith, 
who live the life they choose.

I'm not your average Princess,
who's scared to make a splash.

I'm a decent, humble balance,
And I'm alright with that.

    I love how you included some of the 'main' Disney Princess!
    I also love how this is a Poem/Song! Great work!
