AN: So this chapter is going to rated mature. I will cover some sensitive topics here and I do not want to trigger anyone. So you have been warned. I will also say this. I'm not making this a hate campaign against anybody. Im simply trying to point out some of the problematic things in the tales. and I'm not just talking about the old versions. There are still problems with the more modern versions of these tales. And I know there are kid-friendly versions out there. That's great but I still think we need to have and note this word Age-appropriate conversations about some of the problems that come with these tales.
Cinderella:
A shoe in the face from a runaway dame,
A prince forever in search of the one he claimed.
Too bad he forgot to learn of her name.
It's a tale that begins all the same,
Though this dame never wanted the fame.
She doesn't want to play his game,
Let alone let herself be tamed.
For to place this bird within a cage,
She would never aflame.
Because without the love to spark that flame, His is but an empty claim.
Sleeping beauty:
ah sleeping beauty
a classic tale of love,
the prince defeats the evil dragon
awakens the princess with a kiss
and she lives happily ever after...
True love congers all,
good always wins.
I grew up loving that tale.
I used to dress up.
In a fancy gown
and dance around the house
singing about my prince.
About how we met once upon a dream.
I never imagined that my dream would come true.
I never imagined it would become my nightmare instead.
He didn't stop with a kiss.
He wouldn't
I begged
and cried.
till the end.
I tried so hard to forgive and forget.
Like Thalia with Sun and moon.
I tried so hard to love him.
like aurora with her prince.
But I'm no princess.
this ain't a fairy tale.
where was my happy ending?
