Fairy Tale

When I was done with my sobbing,

wetting my sheets with the pain of heartbreak,

watching Emily in Paris,

Cinderella, Rapunzel,

binge stress eating,

crushing my life over nonreciprocal wrong love,

 All night long.

I walked up to my grandmother and asked,

‘Do fairy tale exists in the new age of romance?’

 She looked up at the sky full of twinkling stars,

Smiled and said,

‘Yes, fairy tales do exist in the new age of romance

Just like in the olden days, when knights were bold

And ladies fair would wait for their true love

To come and sweep them off their feet

In today's world, fairy tales are different

But they still exist, if you believe

That the love you have found is true

And will stand the test of time

So don't be afraid to believe in fairy tales

And the happiness they bring,

For if you do, your true love

Will surely come to you.’
