Love isn't real

 I question the concept of love.

Not the love of family,

But hopelessly devoted love.

The kind I dreamt of as a kid.

Because romance seems to me,

Like the one thing that shouldn't change as you age.

I should be welcomed to the kind of love Cinderella had,

It only seems fair,

Even if I'm not the fairest of them all.

Why am I stuck in this world of reality where fairytales are the metaphor for irrationality?

The world in which the beast will leave me imprisoned,

Where love ceases to exist.
