A Forgotten Castle: Princesses Thrown Away
In a land, in a time of a present day,
live the princesses of a forgotten castle,
that has been thrown away.
It is always 940,
that is what they say.
We will beg to differ in any way.
We are the women who are mothers, sisters, friends, and lovers.
We are the one's that are trapped,
and under all others.
We have been thrown in a cage,
and locked up.
Not even the sound of a clock...tick tock, tick tock.
We are scared, we are hungry, and we are tired.
But, they don't care and they don't even hide it.
The princesses here are no longer happy and free,
and I won't pretend this is the life you want to lead.
We cry,
but pretend we are fine.
We smile,
but inside we are dying.
Inside all the facts,
none of them untrue.
All told by the prisoners of 940,
who used to be princesses too.
