Living a Fairy Tale

Authors note: this piece originated from a stream of consciousness I did recently. It went in a direction I would have never thought of. The main purpose that this piece is speaking to is how when were little we think that things will be just like the princess movies where the fairy god mother always saves the day.

My sun that has always been shining

Just overhead beaming
its careless spotlight radiating down

choosing reminiscing children dancing

dressed in there princess gowns

away from sight we disappear

Our journeys start quickly…

but seems to never end.

Never wanting the sun to go down.

an ancient leaning willow.
Such a stump little fellow he- 

with branches that weep,

Due to the fade in memories.

escorting long lost adventures back.

Within Rapunzel's mane:

Like a vortex were lost.

Unable to grasp reality beyond-

The fairy tale we view

How can something so perfect leave me lost.
If all I have ever know is these grounds

May fear have bent my yellow brick road?

Just a flash back of the simple days I'm left.

I assumed I too could live the fairy tale ways;

of little girls running circles in Never Land

everyday was a sunny summers day.

I thought my happy ending would be just the same.

Each complication I must face

My fairy god mother there:

to sew the pieces back together.

I am now not foolish.

For I know these tattered dresses

I am left to sew.

Now I grasp reality.

No story lines of princesses and evil queens
the same déjà vu ending.  

Contemplate each decision-

It could be your happily ever after.

No one wants to end up living

with a happily never after.
