We grew up hearing fairytales
With flimsy little schemes
They told us goodness would prevail
If we always followed our dreams.
Our happily ever afters await
A few short chapters ahead
Just make a wish upon a star
And the bad will end up dead.
No one ever said that this
Was just not quite the case
For no amount of happy words
Can save you from your fate.
A blunt realization it is
Of course, but princess-
You're all alone
It's time to forget those storybooks
That used to be your home.
