Cinderella and her shoe,

Rapunzel and her hair that always grew.

Beauty and strength I held so dear,

when I saw Belle I gave out a cheer.

My Disney dreams surrounded me,

the princesses: who I wanted to be.

I wanted to be as kind as Snow White,

as brave as Mulan when she put up a fight,

as strong as Jasmine to stand up,

and most importantly, like Tiana, never give up.

Throughout my life, they were my inspirations,

Disney gave me my foundation. 

No longer afraid,

when scared I would look to my favorite mermaid.

I am confident, I am fierce, I am passionate.

And I know I will never quit.
