I used to believe in Fairy Tales
Many years ago
I thought I’d have my own story
But the world would never know

See happy ending don’t exist
They’re simply too clichéd
Misery and woe live on
The curse never goes away

You’re high in your tower- now splitting ends
Wondering what ever went wrong
Because the prince isn’t on his way
(He says he can only save blondes)

A fairy godmother won’t come down
Slaves don’t go to the ball
And when the clock strikes midnight
Nothing changes at all

You’ll never tam the beast
And roses always die in the end
The rich one might be a jerk
But at least he’s got a Benz

Lie there waiting for Prince Charming
To wake you with true love
Honey, his kiss wouldn’t do a thing
All you’d find is major lust

So stupid, I fell for the poisoned apple
Now I’m lying here, practically dead
But no one’s gonna save me
The prince has too big a head

Yeah, I used to believe in fairy tales
Many years ago
But life told another story
One I wish I didn’t know

I LOVE LOVE LOVED this. This was extremely creative, i love it. It's so sad how true it is...but you put it into words so well. My favorite part(and it made me laugh)

Tell me what you think about being open, about being honest with yourself.

Woah, I really liked this one by you! One of the best I've read so far! I would just simply suggest for you to go back and fix some of your spelling/grammar errors.

Once again, very nice!

Desire nothing except desirelessness. Hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes.

Hey,

Good luck in the contest! I hope that this one wins, its deff my favorite by you so far...

I have to agree with Alli, on the spelling and grammar it's a rather annoying stumbling block when you read the poem and have to sort through the errors, no offence.

I loved the part about blondes also, I think it’s probably your best stanza in this poem, cute, funny, and it has great flow to it…

Thanks for sharing
