Just A Myth ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Once upon a time rarely ends as happy ever after and glass slippers will crack if you wear them, there is no prince to kiss the sleep away from a beauty, shooting stars do not deliver hopes to the heavens within the night poision of the heart always kills Snow White, there never was a man in the moon smiling down happiness does not live behind the painted mask of a clown, he loves me, he loves me not seems to win time and time again Mr. Sandman has never been your friend, with a flash of a lightning bolt - Hercules won't come to save the day, eternal youth is just a story - Rapunzel's hair eventually turns to tattered grey, thorns refuse to vanish and roses never bloom all year long, if you believe that God creates soulmates - then you've got it all wrong, there is no genie in a bottle granting wishes, fairytales are just cruel jokes played on innocent children, hate to burst your bubble - but, your fairy Godmother never truly cared and angel lullabies don't float upon honeyed clouds - instead, they sing off key in polluted air, there is no castle in the distance waiting for Cinderella, kings and court jesters are not on the same team even the chesire cat fails to grin forever - his nine lives are cut off with his head by the evil queen, there is no love potion that can cast a magical spell the garden of eden will never replace hell, money doesn't grow on trees just because you're broke leave a memory lost at sea and it will drown and choke, in reality, the toothfairy leaves counterfeit cash and sells teeth for profit, crazy glue could not put humpty dumpty back together once more maps to paradise never wash upon the shore, when your heart breaks and your soul aches all of the chocolate in the world cannot save you from tears, your knight and shining armour is at the stripbar not riding upon a white horse to carry you off into the sunset, gold rings eventually tarnish wedding gowns will yellow and fade, promises are hardly ever kept, let alone made, romance is not a scripted Hollywood movie dreams are never given for free, destiny, fate and kismet are all a bunch of bull the cup of life is half empty, never half full, Saint Valentine and Cupid does not exist, lasting love is just a myth ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ *By Melissa Honeybee* |

Interesting write here, I'm not sure I agree with all of it, but isn't poetry a form of freedom of speech. write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |
