I float on butterflies

And listen to

The clouds, because

They always tell the truth.

I know everything

And my mother is a Queen,

And nothing else exists

From here to what's Between.

Pink is my favorite color

Because it's what my unicorn

Eats, and I always do

The things I've pinkie-sworn.

My best friend is the sunshine,

Because she's made of gold,

And Mother promised me

That I won't ever get 'old'.

Daddy pulls the peanut butter

Off the top shelf for me,

Because I'm too short to reach it;

I like it that way, you see.

My brother is going to

Teach me to fly,

And then I'll be

A princess in the sky.

Someday I'll go to Neverland,

And marry Peter Pan,

And then we'll all be happy;

It really is a perfect plan.

I smile up at Mother

As she tucks me in,

And I believe her

When she says I'll always win.

Then I close my eyes

Even though I am not tired,

And wake up in my apartment,

Wishing that she hadn't lied.
