Story Books

There’s no ray of sunshine

from where I’ve been.

no silver lining

on those storm clouds

that follow me to rain on my parade.

I may seem happy on the outside,

but behind this smile,

there’s a girl,

lost

and just waiting for someone to

take the darkness that invade her dreams.

 

Life isn’t like those stories I used to read.

There are no

happy endings.

no matter how much

you pray to your god,

or wish

on your shooting star.

 

I have learned that waiting

for your prince to come

and save you from your tower

is useless.

He is never going to come.

He doesn’t exist.

 

Sometimes you can’t escape

the witch in the candy house

because you are too stubborn to leave.
