• I always read tales
    Of girls who's
    BARRIERS are set so HIGH,
    And who's HEARTS are LOCKED
    In a STEEL room,
    Making sure
    That no one HURTS them.
    That is, until a boy
    Comes along for them.
    I always grow UNHAPPY
    When I reach this part
    In all my stories,
    WONDERING how those girls
    Can just put their PAST
    Behind them.
    They make it seem so easy,
    When in TRUTH,
    It's not.
    Not everyone's LIFE has
    A happy ending.
    Not like these stories.
    When I get tired
    Of the
    HORRIBLE
    FAKE
    Fairy Tale,
    I stop reading.
    Then I pick up something new.
    It's like I said...
    NOBODY'S life is a
    Fairy Tale.
    I tell myself this OVER and OVER,
    But I CAN'T help myself.
    I always like to pick the same
    Book back up
    And IMAGINE that I'm that
    LUCKY GIRL
    Who really does get
    A Happy Ending.
