Reality Fairy Tale
L is for them long nights and lonely days
that I ball up and cradle myself wiping tears away
I is for the insecurities I feel
as I banish god’s paintbrush he landed on my face
F is for the fear of the future and the sequence of door
holding black holes inside waiting for my skeleton to fall dead
E is for the eternity of pain that will last as we come and go
watching us past by in the wholly world going into a ditch ahead
Life is what they call so great but what’s so great u say
It sucks u out yo lively joy until you wither away
They say be happy and brighten yo smile and so I also say
The pain that drained and left me insane took that all away
But so I stay and straighten up and look like picture day
And as I smile I try to be proud and save face another day
