Princes and Princesses

Princes and Prinsesses?
You have them in all shapes and sizes.
Real princes and princesses
Royal by Blood
 
For now
They do not count

This is about the Princesses
from fairy tales
and their Princes on white horses
 
Their wonderful lifes
in their beautifull castles
Surrounded by 
the pink scent of roses and silver moonlight
jewelry, diamonds, chocolate, sweets,  
candy, cream, sky cots, crowns, slippers,  
velvet, golden balls...

Oh yes…
the Prinsess and the Frog
Know the story?
Sometimes you meet
a princess like her

She lives in a dream world
surrounding herself with only good things.
and putting herself in the center of this
very cool & beautiful
& shiny universe
Everything is about 
Enjoying the moment
Especially enjoying
Egoism versus altruism
 
I do not like this princess very much
(if very thick on top
very obvious
I have no such difficulty

with her
but the princess so pretty
that wants to appear humble and innocent
but actually is not

Still very subtle
It is her
I find not so nice

like the wolf in sheep's clothing )

I prefer  
Snow White and Cinderella
They seem a bit more 
like real people
a bit more human

and there is 
Nothing wrong with
Illusions
But often 
the dream is better 
 than reality

To be human
Be Yourself
Is more 
Important
 
To live a real life
make choices
Have responsibilities
you're on top
and sometimes  
you go through  
very deep valleys
valleys filled 
with tears 
Adored and rejected
 
Not always surrounded  
by the pink scent of roses  
and moonlight
 
Taking care and caring for
yourself and one another 
forgive and be forgiven
appreciate the little things
Not be Complacent
Give and take
For 
What goes around comes around
And my favorite prince?
no doubt
Le Petit Prince
of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
and his Rose
