Black or White
You are my princess in a fairy tale,
Nightmares are the monsters
that seek to capture you in the dark.
Now you must stay awake,
you need a hero on a white horse,
But it seems to be nothing
more than an illusion.
Beauty lies within your sleep,
But when sleep deceives you,
The monster awakens within you.
Thunder bursts from your eyes,
Fire emanates from your mouth,
Your fists are swinging in the wind.
Yet, when Beauty emerges from your sleep,
You become gentle like a dove,
Kindness that’s hard to witness,
It’s sweet like honey.
So, sleep is bittersweet,
whether you like it or not,
Rest and be grateful
that you can close your eyes,
Like a princess in the night.
