Notes About The Poem
Hi Soupers, The inspiration came from "A Knight's Tale."I hope you all like it. Enjoy:-) Alexis

Princess

Once upon a time not that 
long ago. Lived a beautiful 
young lady named Princess.
Who lived in the inner city. 
Her eyes were hazel. And 
they changed with whatever 
she chose to ware. Her smile 
would just light up any room. 
Princess's skin was smooth
like silk and it was a lovely 
mahogany shade.She had
thick dark wavy hair. Not only 
was Princess beautiful on the 
the outside she was beautiful
on the inside as well. One day 
she said “ Moma, why did you 
and daddy name me Princess?”
“Baby I told you that story a 
million times.”
“ I know moma, but I love to 
hear you tell it. Can you tell
me again please?”
“ Me and yo daddy named 
you princess because you are
a princess.  You are our little 
princess.
Her moma has been gone for a
a while now, but she never forgot 
her mama's words.
Folk around the neighborhood
said she lived in make believe, 
because she told everyone that 
she was going to be a real prin-
cess one day. She would often 
say “ I was born to
be a princess”. On one particular 
day a childhood friend said “ Girl 
you good people in all, but ain't 
nobody from the hood gonna be 
no princess.  Get yo head out 
the clouds girl.”
Princess was very smart and 
she excelled in school. Her 
G.P.A was so high that she 
got a full scholarship to study 
abroad in a well known school, 
to study philosophy  in another 
country. 
She excelled in her philosophy 
class as well. Princess was in 
a new country and she was still
loved by all who came in contact 
with her.
In her second year she met the 
most handsome guy she had 
ever seen.
“Hi my name is Sebastian Wil-
cox.
What is your name beautiful?”
“My name is Princess Scott.”
The two became inseparable.
They fell madly in love. And 
one day before graduation he 
asked her asked her to marry 
him. But he had a secret he 
was a prince,who left a king-
dom close by to find his one
 true love.
