Fairy tales are dreams we all want to reach
Do our best to make them come true
But how can things work
If your voices keep rising
Instilling fear into the little girl
Hidden away in a dark corner
You were supposed to to be there
Protection, comfort, love, and shelter
Are what you promised her
So why are you the reason
Tears are streaming down her face
She holds the object from you,
Father you once were,
Now your gift clings to her hands
It's shattered edges cutting into her
She holds the scars from you,
Mother you once were,
Now they laugh back at her face
Repeating your harsh hidden words
She holds the memory of that day
On her skin, heart, and mind
The tears keep falling
She can't leave it behind
Her nightmare came true and she whispers at night:
"Fairy tales are dreams we all want to reach,
But nightmares now hold me back
Making me fear."
