False Fairy Tale


All these false fairy tales

Lead people on paths destined to fail

Thinking one day their life will be changed by their prince charming 

but reality is cold

No man will enter a life so bold

with a story that cries to be told

Fairy Tales are just diversions that're sold

target audience between 5 and 12 years old

but the minds get molded 

perspective double folded 

If it was up to me this is how I would've wrote it

once upon a time 

in a land where the sun did not shine

a ranger spent her time

trying to find

a meaning to the life she designed

but as time wined down

she felt bound to the ground

Yet one day she had an epiphany 

no there was no great background symphony or little fairies with name of tiffany

she just realized the truth 

to take hold of her youth

she must take advantage of every living minute

limits diminsh in the shadow of her past

the ying and yang within her clash

she got in class

those little fairy tale relationships never truly last

so she worked hard to pick up them checks

and relaxed watching movies like shrek
