Not a Princess

I am not a princess
I never was
Never have been
I am a filthy pauper
A lowly dirty whore
Who only imagines
A life upon a throne
She doesn't deserve
Who only daydreams
Of castles and riches
She doesn't merit
Who only hopes
For her knight
But little will he know
That I would
Push him
From his horse
Strip him
Of his armor
Steal
His blood-soaked sword
And leave him
Forsaken
To wallow
In memories
Of what was
What could have been
Wondering
Hopelessly
How it could be this way
I am not a princess
I never was
Never have been
I am a putrid wench
A fallen woman
That sits in the gutter
And sleeps in the sewer
Wearing the mask
Of a princess
