Straighten Your Crown!

No one’s coming to save me

Am I going to continue to live my life alone?

I’ve been living in a fantasy world

Wishing for the knight in shining armor

When really the prince is the frog after all

It’s time to straighten the crown

It’s time to stand my ground.

I’ll learn to live alone

I’ll be the best version of myself.

I’ll be a Queen,

I’ll stand my ground when you said

I’d never amount to anything.

You’ll never win.

I’ll grow from this heartache.

I’ll be the Queen with the Crown…
