Tea and a Princess

A Poem by Apatheia

I sit with tea

Placed in my lap

My haired tied back

In need of a nap

But instead I'm reading

This lovely book

That takes me away

And I am hooked

There's a princess, of course.

At the far away land

But instead of being rescued,

She doesn't need a man.

Away from the dragon

Climbs out of the tower

Leaves her evil step mother

For once she has power

She hops on a horse

And makes her way in town

Where she's set on

Buying a beautiful gown

Because for once in her life

She's getting what she wants

Even it means getting it herself

And not from her servants

She wears the dress happily

And for once she is proud

That she did it on her own

Whether or not she was allowed

She gets a nice job

And a little cottage that sat

In the middle of the woods

But she's okay with that.

She never finds love

But she does find happiness

Because she doesn't need a man

To add on to her stress

She lives a nice life

Out on her own

With many adventures

And more to be known.

I sit with my pillow

Resting behind my back

Wondering if one day

I can be on that track.

My tea is now cold

But I don't seem to notice

Because I'm busy

Thinking of this bliss

I put down my book

And put away my tea

Because at that moment

Sleeps okay with me.

I rest my head on my pillow

Thinking gently to sleep

Because in the back of my mind

That story, I'll keep.

Falling Leaf.

This is adorable, and very true. Women don't need men to be happy and satisfied.

There are a few things I'll point out: in the first stanza, haired should be hair. In the sixth stanza, between even and it, there should be an it. Lastly, in the second to last stanza, sleeps shold be sleep's.

Other than that, very well done! :)
