We are force-fed fairy tales
We digest the things given to us
because they are better
Better than any life we could live.
We are fed fairy tales
Like the one that starts
“Once Upon A Time”
And tells the story
Of a girl who took her own life
But that's not in any storybook
Because it is
Too real
Too close to life
Too fragile to tell
So we stick to
Evil Queens
And Poisoned apples
And tall towers
And witches
Things we can control
Because as much as we wish we could take the reins
We can only sit back
On the ride that is our lives
And hope to GOD that we stay
Living this life
Long enough
to finally get our happy ending
