Creating a Fairytale

I thought I was Rapunzel,

With my long hair that was too short to reach the ground.

Stuck in a tower of isolation.

I wished to be Snow White.

So I could bite an apple and fall into an endless sleep.

But instead I hid in my empty castle.

Away from the world outside the walls.

Hallucinations from sleepless nights causing me to see talking tea cups.

Tearing the wallpaper off with each breakdown.

I played Cinderella.

Hiding behind a mask,

Pretending to be someone else while I searched for something I'd never find.

But

When that clock struck twelve and my glass shoe shattered.

My only escape was the little pill served on a silver platter.
