* This is one day going to be a tribute to my uncle for all he did.. I'm looking for some comments to help me along with fixing the many loose ends... This is just my first draft*



I've always been the anti-princess
Rebal with a capital "R"
No tirra for me
I burned the dress long ago

The shoes lost their shine
My makeup forever smeared
Nails bitten down and bloody
Scars instead of pearl white gloves

I've cried to many times
To keep the makeup from smudging
I've fallen so much
My dress is now a rag

I've never thought to be the pretty one
Never thought to be a part of the world I look in upon
I never wanted to be the one smiling in front of the crowd
Or to cry at graduation when I leave everyone behind

I was always the stone cold bitch
Heart a steal trap
Not a care in the world
I held it all inside

Now, I'm fixing my makeup
Shining my shoes
Mending my dress
And feeling beautiful

I'm the blonde haired crying prom queen
Love for everyone
Heart broken for leaving everything behind
And nolonger holding my emotions in

You gave me life
You gave me tears
You are the reason I'm alive
And the reason I no longer fear

You loved me when no one else did
You cleaned up when I fell
You never left my side
You gave me a reason to live

If you were not there for me
I would be six feet under
Never knowing how beautiful I truly am
Never realizing that I deserve life as much as the next

You were more than just a mere uncle to me
You were my only true friend
The big brother that never left my side
The only one who ever truly cared
