Fairy tales don't come true, dreams can die and I am living proof. Leaving everything I've known, leaving my life, my home.


I sit alone on the stairs staring out to the sunset. I look at some buskers on the corner, I listen to the melody coming from their strange instruments.

When I was just a little girl,

My mama used to tuck me into bed,

And she'd read me a story

My mother, I left her when I was three. Padme became like a mother.

It always was about a princess in distress

And how a guy would save her

And end up with the glory

How many times have I had to be rescued? Too many to count.

I'd lie in bed

And think about

The person that I wanted to be,

Warm bed, cold street corner.

Then one day I realized

The fairy tale life wasn't for me.

And that day is today!

I don't wanna be like Cinderella,

Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,

Waiting for somebody to come and set me free (Come and set me free)

I don't wanna be like someone waiting

For a handsome prince to come and save me

On a horse of white

Unless we're riding side by side

Don't wanna depend on no one else.

I'd rather rescue myself.

I can make it without anyone else!

Someday I'm gonna find Someone

Who wants my soul, heart and mind

Who's not afraid to show that he loves me

Somebody who will understand I'm happy just the way i am

Don't need nobody taking care of me

(i will be there)I will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for me

when i give myself then it has got to be an equal thing

Lux? He was my first crush, will he want to see me?

I can slay (I can slay) my own dragons. (My own dragons)

I can dream my own dreams. (My own dreams)

My knight in shining armor (shining armor) is me.

So I'm gonna set me free.

I've done it all before, I have saved everyone's skins more than once!

I don't wanna be like Cinderella,

Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,

Waiting for somebody to come and set me free.

I don't wanna be like someone waiting

For a handsome prince to come and save me

On a horse of white

Unless we're riding side by side

This is my new life I can rescue myself and anyone I like.

I don't wanna be like Cinderella,

Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,

Waiting for somebody (oh - Oh) to come and set me free.

I don't wanna be like someone waiting

For a handsome prince to come and save me

On a horse of white

Unless we're riding side by side

Don't wanna depend on no one else.

I'd rather rescue myself.

I started singing along, the buskers didn't mind.

I don't wanna be like Cinderella,

Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,

Waiting for somebody (oh -Oh)to come and set me free.

I don't wanna be like someone waiting

For a handsome prince to come and save me

On a horse of white

Unless we're riding side by side

Don't wanna depend on no one else.

I'd rather rescue myself.

I finished and the buskers stopped playing to applause, I dropped some money in the hat infront of them and walked to Padme's house, I knew I always had a home with her.

"Didn't think I'd see you again,"

"Venturess?" I embraced my 'friend'.

"Ok, ok, I brought you something," she said petting my lekku. A figure stepped out behind her.

"Hello beautiful," Lux stepped out in front of us and embraced me. We all walked to Padme's together.


Fairy tales don't always come true, dreams may die but we must always believe in hope, because that does matter and I am living everything I've known, leaving my life, my home - creating a new life and home of my own design.

The end...?
