We've heard it all before

Once upon a time … Yea those words ring a bell. The stories that start out bad then everything suddenly goes well. Where good defeats evil and love find its way, giving us the hope and feeling that in our life it will happen someday. But it doesn’t and we are caught up in a lie, a myth, a fairytale. We are hit with reality that life doesn’t end up so swell.

Once upon a time … Yea we’ve heard it all before. Where the prince finds a princess and magic prances around a land we’ve never seen before.  Your childhood heart beats fast with excitement and your imagination floods your reality with the happiness and joy the book says. But then you open your eyes and see your childhood fade away. You see that happily ever after was just a way to get you to stray away from the surroundings of the cruel reality that some endings end in bad ways.

Once upon a time ... Yea I read it a couple times. Where the criminals are defeated and the pages are filled with many rhymes. Your mind falls deep in a trance as the mystical characters embrace your soul, the joy fills your heart, and the sweet serenity forms a barrier around you. But then you wake realizing it was all a dream and fairytales are too good to be true. So you lay there and reminisce on what could have been with a little bit of magic and for your dreams to come true.
