Those of Faery tales

I'm not a princess
but I'm stuck in a tower.
I have no prince
and my hair can't fall.
I dream of running
but I'm a crowned picture.
My life isn't a faery tale
but I still want to fly.
I am but a peasant
chained to the throne.
I was born with a reason
but it wasn't yours.
You took me away
and called me your daughter.
I was turned into a princess
but I can't be your queen.
I am but an evil witch
a child raised with hope only
to have it taken.
I am not a princess
nothing more then a stolen relic.
I have no prince because
i'm a monster.

Author's Note

When I wrote this it started as a retelling of faery tales. And at some point I started parallels between Loki and I...So please tell me what you think

I love it! One spelling error: "thrown" should be "throne." One thing I must contest with. The "stolen relic" line. You can come up with great lines yourself, and I feel that, personally, it takes away the fairy tale image you nicely set up.

thank you!

Good write and I like the parallels between good and bad and fantasy and reality, I wonder what tower you are in?

I love all of the references to fairy-tales; the childhood ones we all know and love. I also like how the subject refers to herself as a monster and she has set it up in her mind that she is this, so she won't take anything else--but what she thinks she deserves. Very well written, I love this piece.
