Fairytale Wanted
[font=Raavi]What happened to the days
When I didn’t believe
In fairytales?
Now I find myself
Hopelessly wishing for one
To chance upon me.
I want a silver knight
Bearing on his tall white steed
To whisk me away.
I think I could find myself
Happily content with whisking
At least in this place.
I used to frown and sour
At happily ever afters
Now they litter my works.
I despised what I’ve become
A romantic searching
For an answer.
For a prince.
This isn’t who I always was
And indeed when I consult my mirror
I barely see me there
Anymore.
I lost myself
When I began to sell my heart
A piece here and there for a fleeting
Thought of love.
A mere imitation
That’s what my desperation
Has prepared me to settle for
What a fool.
It seems to be the part I was destined for
Maybe if I squeeze tight
All the fantastic nightmares
Will vanish.
This blinding positivity,
Such a lie,
Scares me more than any monster
Lurking under the covers.
I can’t believe this is what I’ve become
But even less can I believe
That I accept it.[/font]
