What is a Fairy Tale?

A place far-far from home with many creatures you never knew exist

Hidden away from everyone like a giant mist

Where inside every princess was kissed

Some are brave some are scary

But in each story a prince and princess are ready to marry

With all the king's horses and men

would kill all creatures who didn’t obey

And slaughter all men and women who would betray

While everyone yelled yea and hooray

Every fairytale is a life lesson

Every kid was a blessing

But many women couldn’t have one because they were up in a tower resting

While men fought for her with obsession

and filled with nothing but aggression

Always a Happily ever after in every ending

Love is neverending

While everyone gathers towards their wedding

Not a cry or a sigh

No One leaves so there's no point of saying goodbye

Most are the same you just have to find the hidden message

A passage to open a whole new world

Each story is not in just one place but many

Across worlds trust me there's plenty

As if each story and place was a pennie

We would have infinitely many

There's just so many stories and somehow their all connecting

Some are different

Some are gory

Some explain history

Some are filled with great mystery

Some leave you with a cliffhanger

And you are left with nothing but great anger

Not all are happiness and rainbows

Some have creatures that lurk in the shadows

Some will make you feel goosebumps up and below

Filled with darkness they'll assure you to make you fly like a crow

Fairytales differ

There not all are the same

It depends what mood your in and what your looking for

Some Gore? A story of a world you can explore?

Reality is so bad we use fairytales to escape them

Stories provide that next door so you can keep reading and forget all those bad things

I see fairytales as super man there to save the day

The end

“We use fairytales to get a glimpse of freedom and happiness to escape reality.”  - Jessie Lopez
