    About this ebook

    You can't be Rapuzel forever.

    Rapunzel, Rapunzel is a collection of poems, a fairy tale of modern life, growing up and falling in love. Or not.

    Divided into five different parts, Rapunzel, Rapunzel explores the impact of anxiety and bullying, and the strength of love, for others and for ourselves. It muses on the difficulty of discovering who we are and how the masks we wear affect our lives and relationships.

    Most of all, Rapunzel, Rapunzel is about embracing all aspects of yourself, even the ones you're scared to show, and finding strength in who you are as a person.

      Once upon a time there was

      Once there was

      Once.

      Once upon a time there was

      A little girl who loved stories.

      Did she die?

      Do little girls hibernate?

      What happened?

      Once upon a time there was

      A little girl who told stories

      And all who heard her stopped

      And told her how good and brave

      And clever and imaginative her stories were.

      Once upon a time.

      Once upon a time?

      Once upon a time.

      Once.

      It was a long time ago.

      A long, long time ago

      In a kingdom far away

      As far away as imagination can take you.

      But also next door.

      In your classroom.

      In your heart.

      Once upon a time there was

      A little girl who could be anything

      Anything at all.

      And one day

      She would grow up.

      Once upon a time there was

      Once there was

      Once.

      Once upon a time there was

      A little boy who didn’t like stories.

      Who doesn’t like stories?

      What happened?

      Once upon a time there was

      A little boy who heard stories

      And he didn’t like them at all.

      Perhaps he just didn’t like that

      People listened to little girls.

      Once upon a time.

      Once upon a time?

      Once upon a time.
