People are going to betray you the way Judas betrayed Jesus, the way Brutus betrayed Caesar, and you will love them anyway. - Nikita Gill

They won't tell you about how Red Riding was the wolf
and Snow White went back to kill the queen.
Or that Cinderella's step family mysteriously
disappeared after she became queen.

They are afraid to let you know that Aurora woke up screaming
because a strange man was kissing her without her consent.
Or how Ariel had no problem killing the two timing prince
and restoring herself to the sea.

The fairy tales we should tell
our daughter should be about strong women with real flaws
and incredible qualities.

Let's raise girls who don't just wait to be rescued,
but take destiny in their own hands
and charge to battle dragons and their enemies.

So sing a soft lullaby to the things you hate about yourself, and get to know them too.

And she needs no prince or knight to save her, because her might is enough to tame dragons.
