I Did it in Order

I remember when I believed in wishing upon a star

That dreams came alive and true love was a concept not too far

That fairytales could happen if you just had enough faith

That hopes were usually bittersweet like an over done fruitcake

But that was a different girl from a distant past and this is the present

I stopped imagining myself as the princess and came to terms as a peasant

The revelation of reality has set my mind free

To grow in different paths much like the shade from this old tree

Broken out of the chains wrapped around me at birth

Taking in my new found point of view with winter and mirth.
