A Fairy Tale

Submitted by cutiestickers on May 2, 2008 - 10:57.

Once upon a time,
That is how
The story goes,
And
A fairy tale
Was born,

But
As in fairy tales,
A happy ending is due,
The good defeat the evil,
And everyone lives,
Happily ever after.

But nothing,
Is like,
A fairy tale,

Days go by,
And still,
My life,
Is not,
Like a Fairy tale

I wait
For my perfect
Fairy tale ending
That I
Will never get.
