i think

we feel

entitled

to love

and happiness

whatever

that's

supposed to mean

and when we don't

get it

the believers

stop believing

and the fanatics

fall apart

as if the

loss

is a knife in their

hearts

and as if

fairy tales

were the only

things

keeping them

together

stitched them

up

with thread

when they fell

down

and helped them

stand

when they couldn't

get

out

of

bed

or even

look

in

the

mirror

because they didn't

like

what they saw there

but fairy tales

are not

real

you know that

all

too

well

it's a sad truth

one that you don't like

to believe in

life is not

a fairy tale

or a storybook

there are no

happy

endings

for people who don't

work

for

them

perhaps it is a

good thing

that you aren't going to

marry a prince

or a princess

or someone who wears

a crown

because

you'd rather be another

crazy

broken

person

than wear your

heart

on your

sleeve

like the

queen

of hearts

from a place called

wonderland

since the whole

world

knew her pain

but it was not

her choice to

let

them

in
