High in my tower I sit. I watch the birds fly below, the clouds float above, and the tall green forest stretch to places I might never see. ,Mama, who isn't my mother, has kept me hidden away for many years. My only companions, besides Mama, are my booksâ€”great adventures, mysteries, and romances that I long to make my reality. But I know that no one will come to save meâ€”my life is not a fairy tale after all.,Well, at least no one has come so far. Recently, my hair has started to grow rapidly and it's now long enough to reach the bottom of the tower from my window. I've also had the strangest dreams of a beautiful green-eyed man. ,When Mama isn't around, I plan my escape, even if it's just for a little while. There's somethingâ€”maybe someoneâ€”waiting for me out there and it won't find me if I'm trapped here Towering above it all.
