Fiona's Lament

Without this spell

I would be free to be who I am

but instead I hide behind a mask

I am forced into hiding at sunset.

Who could ever love someone so hideous as this?

Not Lord Farquaad

I would go back to the tower for sure.

Maybe his love isn't so pure

Only time will tell.

I wish I could tell Shrek how I feel

but would he believe me if I told him about the spell?

He's not like most princes or kings

but he's still a knight in shining armor

I guess in a way he's the hero I've waited so long for

He'll take me as I am

but that's not part of the plan.

Without this spell

I would be free to be who I am

but is who I want to be the princess I've always read about

or something completely different

then what I view happily ever after as?

This poem is inspired by Who I'd Be and is Fiona's point of view on her feelings for Shrek and if she really wants to be with Fatquaad.
