Villain

Raised with Grimm and Disney

princes, spells, and fairy tales,

traditional and ancient plots,

where heroes win and love prevails.

Girls who think they're princesses

grow into their shoes, 

gowns and crowns and diamonds

of the only world they knew.

Still young without Prince Charming

they willingly give in

to their story book enemy

and the real story begins.

Poison, curses, apples, magic,

evil can't be bought from a shelf.

doubt, conscience, ego, lust,

the enemy, all along, was herself.
