Fairy tale

 

Once upon a time

I wanted life to be

a fairy-tale

I could read at will

as long as I saw fit

 

And of course I wanted

to become

the fairest in the land

always kept my poisned apples

close at hand

 

But in reality I've kissed

a lot of ugly frogs

who would never turn

into a prince

their shining armour never more

then worn-out hand-me-downs

and they never rode

a snow-white horse
