Fairytale

I wrote you a fairytale
of love, happiness, full of hope..
Dragons, witches,
elves and midgets.
A princess, a knight
riding into sunsets
never to part..

But life is real,
a beginning, an end..
Sadness looms
in corners in rooms.
Wicked at it's core
never less is more..

Smiling faces, weeping eyes,
masks worn with no despise..
Cheating, lying,
dying, freaking..
All surviving
all still breathing.

And in this chaos
known as life
Restless peace unknown.
Facing monsters,
conquering demons.
Dealing with death,
madness and weakness..

I found a strength
to fight it all.
Baring my soul
to play so foul.
In this nightmare
a greedy display,
I found a match
to call my own..

So, I wrote this poem..
No fairies, princes,
ogres or spinsters.
Just this,
me deep from the soul..
