Concepts of Reality

by Brittney Follett   Sep 20, 2007


Cinderella walked on shoes of glass.
My shoes are dirty and worn with age.
Sleeping Beauty slept some time pass.
But I have to endure each painful day.

Belle fell in love with a hideous beast.
I fell in love with a man I can't have.
Pocahontas risked her life for peace.
I risked my heart and soul for nothing.

Jasmine could have had anyone...
But instead she chose a poor man.
I wish I could have fallen for another.
But my fate was set at first glance.

Ariel the mermaid, walked on the shore.
Her dream came true, but mine won't.
Fairy tales are lies and nothing more.
These are the stupid Concepts of Reality.

-----------------------------------------------------

My friend Mireya never seems to end with her quotes. Again (like my poem "Into My Head") she asked me to write it on a quote.

"Cinderella walked on broken glass.
Sleeping Beauty let a whole lifetime pass.
Belle fell in love with a hideous beast.
Pocahontas risked her life for a feast.
Jasmine could have anyone
but instead choose a poor man.
And Ariel walked on land."

I changed the quote a little. But she loved it :)
-----
Jasmine could have had anyone...
But instead she chose a poor man.
If I had a choice, I would run.
Snow White, she had seven men.

Jasmine could have had anyone...
But instead she chose a poor man.
I wish I could have fallen for another.
But my fate was set at first glance.
----- Which one is better?

    I was gonna write a boring 1 liner jsut to be a pain but this was too good a poem hehe.
    i love how u did the lil contrary lines for the fairy tales, i think u should hav put that in the actualy poem and done the same with the lines about u and tried saying something positive about ur feelings.

    and in regard to which stanza was better: i think the first 1 was purely bcoz u managed to throw snow white in ther aswell.
