This isn't sunshine and lollipops

Where are your rainbows, little girl?

Where are they?

This is not a perfect little world, darling

This is hearts of glass

Breaking, shattering, s p l i n t e r i n g

Before your very eyes

This is words that burn and scar

And oh so suddenly

You'd brave those sticks and stones

If it meant escape from this


But you're trapped, don't you know?

This is your tower, princess

There's no way out

Let's be honest, for a moment…

Do you think you can do that?

Shed your cloak

Of charming little lies

And tell the truth


If you had the chance to run,

Would you take it?

One leap, one jump…

And you'd be f a l l i n g

Into…what?

Sweetheart, you don't know

You're not strong enough

To take that leap of faith


Dare to think, will you please?

Because maybe being here

Is good enough for now
