Shut Down

Am I still a Princess if I don't feel like one? Confidence for blood Which now has run dry, nearly gone Can't tell which I dislike more, Myself or these mirrors Is there really an answer I am searching for? So Princess Xia needs to shut down Just for awhile And take off this crown That beauty which I once saw Were all illusions in my head In truth, its all a flaw These hundreds of writes which I said were poetic Are just words stringed together It's all pathetic I am no royalty Not a princess for sure Just plain me Maybe I deserve a slap across the face For chasing these wishes Which were out of place Not all wishes are meant to be caught Some remain just that, wishes That's what I have been taught This is me Riding the slope into depression Becoming its detainee

Dear Princess, dreams will stay with us always. I am in my 60s, but am still haunted by my fantasies from youth. At times they interfere with my thoughts and existence in the present. You are a wonderful soul, and your wonderfulness cannot be hidden. So we must work on being who we are and making the best of it. In reality, other people's life is not any better than ours is although at times it doesn't feel that way. I would love to hear from you even if not a princess.
