MY FAIRYTALE

Fairytales told me;

That a prince would sweep me off my feet,

But I wasn’t one to stay in a place,

So, I must’ve missed him.

That true love’s first kiss would wake me from poisoned sleep,

But I never took food from strangers,

nor did my mother let me sleep past 7am,

So, I missed that too.

I could’ve been rescued from a tower by a prince,

who would scale my golden hair,

But I lived in fenced houses,

If only I’d met a frog, I could have broken a prince’s spell with my kiss,

But where I come from, a bird chirping at night is a witch.

What would a frog be?

Fairytales told me that love happens with horses & carriages;

Royal balls and crowns.

But mine happened softly,

Like the silent dawn of morning.

So, I almost missed you, my prince.

You swept my fears, Awakened my desires,

Scaled my walls and put a spell on me.

Now, every day with you is happily ever after.

You are my fairytale.
