Fairytales

"No more glass slippers,
It's time to grow up.
Forget the fairy tales,
The ones you used to love.

No more lying puppets,
Or boys who never age,
It's time to think like an adult,
Where the economy is a cage.

Cinderella's married,
Snow White isn't dead.
Aurora is awake now
Get the thoughts out of your head."

But they all live in castles,
Or happily in another place,
They're kind and gold of heart,
and Beautiful of face.

Is it so bad to remember,
Those who taught us all?
They reminded me when all was bad,
there was always love to call.

They told me to be bold,
to follow only my heart,
And though it's not always wise,
Believe the best in the start.

Don't let the cages hold you,
But remember when you leave,
There will always be a burden,
Be careful what you heave.

They told me not to lie,
Unless to save your love.
They told me to be myself,
Because my skin fits like a glove.

Fairy tales once told me,
To trust in fate, but still,
Keep your own power,
Never lose your sense of will.

Do not be superficial,
For it's what's inside that you count,
And sometimes inner beauty,
Shines also on the out.

Though sometimes they say silly things,
Things that cannot be,
Sometimes they say mermaids,
Lurk deep within the sea.

But as I slept in nightmares,
I'd turn around to find,
That fantasy could save me,
buried deep within my mind.

And even if they lied to me,
and told me what was wrong,
No matter how they did it,
they have helped me all along.

So don't forget the fairy tales,
Or the lessons that you learn.
Otherwise in times to come,
You'll find your heart will yearn.

Even though Cinderella's married,
And Snow White isn't dead,
Aurora is not sleeping,
Keep them in your head.
