Following the Light

Mirror Mirror on the wall.

Do you see that girl that seems to have won it all?

Smiling down the city streets,

Making new friends with every bird and bee.

Far from her tower, where she used to sit and cower

Under the weight of the beast she thought herself to be.

To hard for her to believe, that she could be among the fairest of them all,

Never dreaming that she could ever be the Belle of her own ball.

Trapped by the fear of the dragons, wolves and poison apples that were everywhere.

But one little spark set her free.

Jumping on that magic carpet and soaring high

Traveling to a new land she has be dying to see.

And for a while, everything become as magical as life could be.

Living out these days brought happy new adventures,

Even the chance at meeting her prince.

Though the biggest journey along the way,

Through each and every day,

Came in discovering who she can be.

Only too soon did new perils make their way to this land,

And she had to move to another.

But the girl began to know just what to do, to keep her happiness alive

For she had learned a great deal from the fairies and genies that she called her friends.

Finding the light was the key out of her old tower,

But darkness never stays in once place.

So while she does return to it again and again,

It’s only for a short while.

Because now she knows the secrets on how to find her way back,

To the happiness she knows is true.

With Lumiere on her side, she is much less afraid

To face the Big Apple and whatever else gets thrown in her way.

  1. I like how the monologue starts, with the “Mirror Mirror on the wall”, because it reminds you in the traditional sense that it used, and then the rest of the monologue personalizes by specific questions that Christina had. I think the monologue is very thoughtful when read or listened to carefully.

  2. The fairy tale theme was very creative. Showed that you put effort into writing this and I had a good time reading it. Would have been better if didn’t had that cough breakout in the middle of the presentation. It really did ruin the mood.
