Once upon a time

Once upon a time

A Poem by yashmita13
"

they told her fairy-tales come true.they told her happy endings.so she tried.but no-our world is not a fairy-tale.it ins't perfect.they told her only princesses can be happy.so she tried to be one.

"
once upon a time
there was a girl
who lived in a tower
which she herself had to climb
no prince to save her
and she had no superpower
hair in a messy bun
accompanied by a sweatshirt
dark patches under her eyes
you could see that she was hurt
no bills to cover up her wounds
just ordinary dirt
no tiara on her head 
for once she did flirt
but she never wanted to be
trapped in his bed
tears down her face
which she herself had to wipe
no lace left on her dress
no one saw her load and snipe

Awesome writing about the malevolent expectations of society for girls about romance and the unrealstic nature of thinking happy endings are a sure thing. I like it lol and im a guy.

Rhythm is a little strange at some points. Try to make most lines fit together more cohesively to make the fluency better. This will make it easier to read and more memorable.

I get the feeling this girl is angry. Maybe she resents the her tower home and the stairs. I lived in a sixth floor apartment with no stairs. It was bad sometimes. Thanks for sharing.

A modern day fairytale. I like the honest tone leading to the sad ending. Few fairytale can come true. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

This may just be me, but this poem felt like it had fairy tale elements to it, which I absolutely love. This poem definitely shows that you are a creative writer! Keep up the amazing work! :)

Congratulations on winning a prize at our writing competition! My favourite thing about this poem is that I get some more meaning from it the more I read it. Here's our original review for it: While simple on the face of it, this poem is incredibly complex. While the main thrust of it involves deconstructing the typical narrative of a princess, using the meter of a fairytale, it is the last two lines that really stand out. Initially they seem like filler, closing lines for the earlier rhyme, but when you really think about them, the most sinister they get.

Found this wrenching and eloquent. There are no happy endings and it is achingly sad

there MIGHT be happy endings, but frankly i havnt seen one yet, only realistic ones
This was an amazing read. Please, please, attempt to turn this into a novel or at least a short story. Also, this makes me think of a musical I was in xD
