Fairy tale

by Kristen   Jul 15, 2007


A young girl sits at her window
watching the world fly by
she used to believe in fairy tales
but now she doesn't, so she cries

"star light, star bright
now you know my wish tonight
i wish i may i wish i might,
please make my wish come true tonight"

she recites this every night
sitting and staring at the moon
all she wants is her fairy tale ending
and she hopes that it comes soon

she thought that she found it once
but reality revealed it wasn't hers
other "princesses" stole her "prince" away
and left her heart broken without a cure

her "knight in shining armour"
turned out to be a "loser in tin foil"
she wishes she could just erase his memory
but to him, her heart is loyal

shes just about had it with "princes"
the princess just wants to smile
and be happy to live her life
her "fairy tale" has been thrown in the burning pile

she threw away her fairy tale books
to her, fairy tales don't come true
"princesses" and "princes" belong in another world
"a world thats not mine" she concludes

her "prince charming" abandoned her
her fairy tale just told a lie
her wishes never seem to come true
why does her "fairy tale" make her cry

PLEASE COMMENT AND RATE!!!

    You write like I feel..kinda lost in this world. But do keep your chin up, as its not your choice,that you feel this way,for someone out there hurt you too, and tho time is the best medicine, no one can tell you when your find yourself again, only time knows just when.....great job on this piece...5/5
