Rapunzel Reimagined
April 7, 2021
As I run through the woods with my long golden hair braided behind me
I wonder when my life truly began
Wearing my signature purple dress with my frying pan in hand
I run to the place where it all started
The tower
I climb up and wonder what it would be like if I was still trapped
With nothing to do
With no one to hang out with
Not being able to leave because mother knows what's best
Painting mural after mural
Sewing dresses for myself and my chameleon
Seeing the light from the lanterns each year on my birthday
Wondering when I would finally break free
