Would you believe me if I told you

I am more than just a girl

That every now and then,

I escape to other worlds


Would you believe me if I told you

I slay dragons all the time

And when I'm feeling lonely

I spread my wings and kiss the sky


Would you believe me if I told you

I have scales under my skin

And when the day grows hot

I bring them out and take a swim


What if I told you

"I'm a fairy in disguise"

And I'd show you my wings

to prove it

Although I know you'd be

surprised

"You have wings as well,

they're just a bit pint-sized"


And if you finally believe me

That I'm more than just a girl

Then I'd smile and say goodbye

and return to my favorite world


Where mother says "wake up"

So I take off my fairy wings

Shake off my scaly skin

Say goodbye to mermaid friends

and hide the magic

back within

I wrote this one a long time ago, and it's very "imagination-y."

A little girl has so many worlds to step into, I get jealous.


I hope you enjoy.
