THE PAUPER AND THE PRINCE
ONCE UPON A TIME,
I WAS A PAUPER WHO DREAMED OF BEING A PRINCE.
I STRUGGLED TO BECOME WHAT I WASN’T.
I SOLD MYSELF SHORT AT EVERY TURN.
I WAS A CINDER-FELLA DREAMING OF A FAIRY PRINCESS RESCUING ME,
TURNING THIS PAUPER INTO A PRINCE BY HER ASSOCIATION WITH ME.
A FAIRY PRINCESS COULD BE ANYTHING THAT VALIDATED MY WORTH
THEN I HAD A MIRACLE!
I DIED AND CAME BACK!
I REVIEWED MY WHOLE LIFE AND REALIZED,
LO AND BEHOLD, I HAD ALWAYS BEEN A PRINCE
WHO HAD SOLD HIMSELF SHORT AT EVERY TURN.
I DIDN’T NEED TO STRUGGLE AT BECOMING WHAT I ALREADY WAS
I WAS GIFTED WITH EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO SURVIVE AND FLOURISH.
I WAS NOW A PRINCE LOOKING FOR ALL
WHO WOULD FIT INTO MY GLASS SLIPPER.
Simply, Simon
