Little miss prima donna
No power in her hands
Begging for the life she led
Once Upon a Time so grand
Naked hand with fingers bare
Baubles no longer define
A kingdom filled with memories there
Once Upon a Time divine
An empty spirit weighs her down
Pride now filled with chagrin
Her name no longer is renowned
A Once Upon a Time has-been
Ever a woman of wealth and means
Now lying on the bed she’s made
No tiara for this fairy tale queen
Her Once Upon a Time betrayed

For some reason, as I read this it came out like a rap song
And I thought Byonce (sp?)
It was really cool. I thought this should be sung by a rapper.
Seriously!!

Oh Cookie, rap? lol. That’s the only genre of music I dislike! But if you do it, I may reconsider 😉 (Beyoncé)
