be a princess who knows how to
be elegant
but also a princess that knows how to
walk around in scuffled shoes, and messy hair,
a princess that doesn’t hide behind flowers or etiquette –
and a princess that isn’t afraid to be known as
the princess who doesn’t fit amongst the palace garden roses
because they’ve drifted so far from social constructs
and lastly
be the princess who knows how to live
without the crown on her head.
be a prince who can be someone’s prince charming
but not a prince who smiles and bows and stands up tall all day long
be the prince not afraid to cry tears of sorrow
and the prince without the sword and the fast car
a prince that challenges the boundaries bestowed upon then
because they’re willing to go enroute from tradition
and lastly
be a prince who isn’t afraid to abandon their castle for the real world.

OH THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL, KIYA. This reminds me of how society wants us to be ourselves, but not truly. (On Pinterest there’s a thing like — Society: Be yourself. Society: No not like that. That’s what your poem makes me think of.)

Love this poem. Definitely relates to modern day society and the pressures from idealists to be someone we aren’t.
