Life's no fairytale

Once upon a time;
A girl becomes a woman,
Reading, once upon a time,

A woman lives life in the shadow of
Once Upon a Time,

Once upon a time;
a beautiful dream to ruin all
Happily ever afters.

A woman never knows her happily ever after
Trying to live
Once Upon a Time,
Stuck in a storybook romance
Once Upon a Time

Reality doesn’t exist Once Upon a Time
Happiness lost in pages long ago
Reality is forever
Not,
Once Upon a Time

My prince lives with me now,
Not Once Upon a Time,
Our happiness is real and beyond,
Once Upon a Time,

Close your books
And look –
Beyond, Once Upon a Time.

Write your own happiness,
Fresh and new and real
So real and so big
Pages cannot hold

Our Once Upon a Time.
