Unbroken Sleep

What if no prince came? Sleeping Beauty learns to break her own curse and wake alone.

Unbroken Sleep?

What if no prince crossed the thorn-wrapped land,
No fearless heart, no outstretched hand?
What if the castle stayed draped in dust,
Its promises buried beneath forgotten trust?
Would roses still bloom beyond the gate,
Or wilt beside the hands of fate?
Would dreams grow quiet, one by one,
Waiting forever for a rising sun?
Perhaps she learned to wake alone,
To break the curse she’d always known.
For not every rescue rides in white—
Sometimes hope is born from endless night.
Maybe the kiss was never the key.
Maybe the magic lived in she.
And every story we’ve been told
Forgot that hearts can wake untold.
