Reality or Fantasy?

There's something I need to know
'Is this truly reality?
'Cause the world is shining so bright
So maybe this world's a fantasy
I'm seeing so many crazy things
Am I being crazy or delusional?
Everything seems to be twinkling
But then again, am I being rational?

Tom-Boy Cinderella

Fancy clothes, tiara like a queen
Why can't I come in my jeans?
Manicured nails, skin like a dove
Why can't I wear my baseball glove?
Jewellery from head to toe
Even though I don't wanna go
Don't need my hair curled or any more make-up
So much 'girlishness' I think I might just throw up
Do I really have to go to the ball
And no lets NOT head to the mall
'Cause all this princess stuff is making me wince
And I certainly not marrying any prince
'Cause all I wanna do is watch wrestling on TV
So stop trying to make a Cinderella out of me! ! !

Overthrown Innocence

There was a girl who wished to play
Outside of her castle here she stayed
But she was a princess; beauty renown
And someone wanted her to be overthrown

Kingdoms away was a girl of jealousy
Hearing of the princess, she became a banshee
Screaming for days, her anger set alight
Then came a plan, turning day to night

So Innocence was forced to flee
Through the lands and across the sea
The girl ran, tears flowing again and again
As she headed towards the tallest mountain

Jealousy grew impatient; a beast
'I want her heart for my feast'
The snow was then stained; blood red
And Innocence was overthrown; dead...

School-Community

School is a community which surrounds you most
A place where teachers seem somewhat like ghosts
Believing that it’s a chance for new friends
But the community also introduces new ends

You believe that you yourself can never be true
To reside into acting into someone that isn't you
The school community soon becoming fake
Inside, many people's hearts begin to ache

We believe in not showing our true selves
The community telling to dig deep in ourselves
Slowly we start believing that freedom is forbidden
But does school truly want ourselves to remain hidden?

Friendships can lead to you being cut down
We sometimes wish this community wasn't around
But then we realise not to defy the real world
And that the real truth is being unfurled
