Princess for a day

I walk into the auditorium and take a seat on a long bench behind a pane of glass. I smooth out my dress and watch as a boy and his pet parakeet take the stage.

The boy starts to hum a beautiful tune and lets his parakeet fly around the room. The birds sweet tweeting filling the room with song.

I want to go up and talk to the boy, to sing with him and his parakeet, but as I stand, the woman beside me sits me back down.
"That is no way for a princess to act." She says.
She doesn't know that I am not her daughter.

I make my way back to the princesses room, sent away for bad behaviour. This is not what I thought it would be like to be a princess. I hear a knock at the window. Looking out I see myself staring back at me, though I know this is actually the real princess.

I open the window and let her in.
"Thank you for letting you switch places with me today." She says, "It was truly wonderful."
"Of course." I reply "You have a pretty rough life I can see."
"Please, I want you to have one of my treasures." She says as she opens one of the elegantly carved drawers. Inside lie a bunch of common place items. I know now why they are her treasures. I look at a digivice toy that lies beside a stack of cards.
"Oh," I exclaim, "You like digimon too?"
"Of course." She replies smiling. " I am glad that we have something in common."
"I guess we aren't so different after all."

Wow. This is really good. Wish I had dreams like that... Lol.

Umm... yeah. I mean it just takes practice. Eventually you can hold the image clearly for a day or so without writing it down.

I have held multiple dreams for a long time, but I mean have dreams like this. My dreams aren't all very pretty. Once I get a few of my 52 or so read requests out of the way, I'm posting a few from my past, a few that aren't very pretty like these. People keep giving me poems to read, and I don't read poems! I read books and stories unless I'm really, really bored.

[Eryn ♪]

Oh, Im the opposite, I find books too long so I read any poems that come my way.

[Silent Wolf]

Lol. I find poems too short. I read fairly fast.

[Eryn ♪]

You would hat one of my other books then.

[Silent Wolf]

Lol I read books of all sizes, just so long as there is enough for me to read. I usually only read fast if I'm interested in the book... Lol. And I'm interests tend in this book. :3

[Eryn ♪]
