Once upon a time

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

Author's Note

they killed her.

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.
ex: accompanied by a sweatshirt/ dark patches under her eyes/you could see that she was hurt

In the myths and the pain, your words weave a fairy tale into the real world all around us...

We are surrounded by the pressure to find fulfilment throughout romantic love and it rarely happens. Great write, yashmita:)

How can any person have a "review" mindset in reading this ? It would seem so pathetically simple-minded to think of this in any technical sense.....this comes through as a genuine, heartwrenching plea and statement. That in itself is all that needs to be acknowledged and heard.

Beautiful. Like all of your works, beautiful. :)
