Stargirl –
By Shakti Singh-Chris
We all heard the story of the girl,
Awakened by a kiss from a prince
We all heard the story of the girl,
Who kissed the frog that became her prince
We all heard those happily, after, stories
Told again and again through the centuries
Well – this is a story of a girl who kissed many frogs
But found none to break the witches’ spell
A girl who marred by the illusory world
Was held prisoner by the wands holding the power
A girl who then learned to bow in reverence,
Sadly, learned to bow in ignorance
But who luckily, oh so blessedly
Broke free
