Being Rapunzel
Being Rapunzel is not easy. But then again, being anybody is never easy. It’s tougher though when you are a character in a fairy tale, and everybody tells you to be real and treats you like you ARE real. It grazes against your soul. You are sensitive with all the sensitivity of those who can only have a life within the fairy tale.
Being Rapunzel means that you are locked up in a tall tower, cut off from the rest of the world. Cut off from the human and from all that constitutes humanity. You can’t escape even if you wanted to. But being Rapunzel, and being sensitive, you divine with the sensitivity of the princess in the faity tale what it must feel like to be part of humanity.
Being Rapunzel means that you live with a witch who watches over you, jealous and possessive. A witch who nips in the bud ANY attempt that you might make to get real. And it means that you’ve lived with her so long, that you’ve almost given in.Often, she is your only company. Often, she is you.
Being Rapunzel means that you know there is a prince. How do you know? Cos you know that locked up princesses in fairy tales always do. And so you wait.
Being Rapunzel means that you never can be Rapunzel without your prince. 'Cos without the prince you are simply Rapunzel wanting to be Rapunzel.
It isn't easy...being Rapunzel.
