Reality Vs. Fairy Tales


Reality Vs. Fairy Tales

Mix the two and you will end up confused

Fairy Tales are lies while reality is the truth

A fairy tale is nothing but a dream

If you ask me it is all apart of the devils scheme

Play reality like a tale if you want too, you will be the fool

It ain't easy in the battlefield of reality, man you will lose

Learned that a mature mentality is important, be smart when you chose

Reality Vs. Fairy Tales

Once you know the difference, you know what is real and what is fake

Fairy Tales mean happily ever after, or at least that's what they want us to think

Part of growing up is learning how to separate the two

Reality will demolish a Fairy Tale anyday, I’m sure you have no clue

When I learnt how to distinguish the two, it really hit.

Some people can't even point out the difference

But I guess I am a little different

Sadly in reality things are tough, some people break cause they cant deal

I swear it is nothing to play with, reality really kills

Facing reality is no joke, gives me the chills

Reality Vs. Fairy Tales

My mind knew how to disconnect them

Maybe I grew up a little faster, I mean look where I am from

Fairy Tales are known for exuberance

Many take advantage instead of embracing good

I see all aspects because I was raised in the hood

So the difference between reality and fairytales is really understood

Some of my people get an opportunity and ruin the chance not knowing what to do

Afraid of something that looks too good to be true

Not everyone knows but reality is cruel

Lucky some of y’all do have the perfect fairytale life

While some have the rough end, sharp like the tip of a knife

Leaving folks like ME wondering why?

But that is how I knew I grew up and was going to be fine

I battle with reality everyday and still survive

Reality Vs. Fairy Tales

Strength and Maturity is something that came naturally

Fighting any obstacle and pushing through causally

Reality is something that can not be escaped

Hoping and praying to eventually get a break

I mean honestly sit back and let everything I said sink

Spitting facts that will brighten and open the mind

Thanking my father above for making me so young and wise

If you really listened you are probably thinking wow

This young girl is so bright and mature!!! How?

Growing up and separating fairy tales from reality

Living in reality will really have your mind sane

There is no time to question what is real or what is fake

Trust me I know some of you can relate

Reality Vs. Fairy Tales

Fairy Tales are amazing and all but suck because they are not real

Honestly you should know that, if you know the meaning of a tale

Perhaps my mind grew up too fast and it is now time to chill

Just remember part of growing up is learning how to separate the two

Reality Vs. Fairy Tales
