Norms
The problem with fairy tales is that they are all the same.
A princess does this, prince charming does that!
No one ever wants to stray from the norms.
The Brothers Grimm had the right idea copying down tales and fables word for word.
Letting the gruesome details ooze into you, like you're a sponge.
As a matter of fact, this is supposed to be a fairy tale, so I'll give you a tale.
Once there was a writer who needed to write a poem so he could go to school for a cheaper cost.
Now I would like to sugarcoat the ending and tell you that writer got the money, but he didn't.
Another student won the prize money, as the writer continued to apply to other scholarships, spending night and day trying to get money.
The truth is, the student went off to college without recieving money from a single scholarship.
How's that for a fairy tale?
