Life Is Not A Fairytale

When I was a little girl,

I believed in all things nice.

I never saw the bad in things,

Now I know to think twice.

I would always look at the stars,

shining in the sky,

and believe they would grant my wish,

Now I know not to try.

I was always optimistic,

and think everything to be alright.

I could make myself feel better,

Now everything's one huge fight.

I was always completely happy,

there were no such things as fears,

I wasn't scared of anything,

now it's hard to hide the tears.

I used to think that life was great,

But now I can respect,

that life is not a fairytale,

it's never going to be perfect.
