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.

Excerpt
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.
