So-Called Fairytale

So-Called Fairytale

A Poem by Jessica Bailey

Where's my one true love?
Where's my prince charming?
Where's my knight in shining armor?

No one is perfect whatever anyone says...
Face these facts that a frog is not a price...
When we are Little Girls who dream of true love...
Everyone tells us the lie of the year...
Someday you will marry Mr. Right and live in a castle...
Your kids will be cute and servants to pamper you...
And you to will live happily ever after...

Well I have been waiting for thirteen long years...
And all that has happened is a huge fear...
A fear that I don't have a soul mate...
A fear that I will never marry...
A fear of no happy ending...

Where's my fairy godmother?
Where are my seven dwarfs?
Where's my glass slipper?

Where is my happy ending?

No one has a perfectly happy ending, and everyone's happiness quota is filled differently. Maybe the prince will come when you find other things to be happy about :). And once you are happy about other things, maybe you won't even want a prince anymore. (If this is about you)
Other than that, I love fairy tales so it was creative to include all of the ideas like frog prince, glass slipper, etc...and then transforming them into a darker, contrary story with this poem was also creative.
Keep writing! :)
