Life is not a fairytale.

Life is not a fairytale;

The princess does not always find her prince.

Sometimes, the bad guy wins.

We look for the symbolism and irony in the little things.

“Well the way he looked at me…”

“The feeling I got the first time he touched my hand…”

We are programed to search for hope.

Life is a nightmare;

Your heart will be broken.

People will tell you, that they will always be there,

And then leave.

You will find yourself crying yourself to sleep,

Or not being able to cry at all…

The what ifs, those will constantly haunt you;

Replaying memories over and over again,

"What could I have done differently?"

Well my dear, hindsight is 20/20.

And everyday we waste, dwelling on the past, 

Is a day we do not participate in creating our future.

And we forget, the biggest irony in life is,

Everyday, we are so afraid to live, 

We forget that one day, we will die because life is not a fairytale.

After 24 years on this Earth, I have realized that sometimes it is easier to write down my thoughts instead of letting them eat me alive... I've been through my share of tough times, but haven't we all?  Hopefully my words will touch the heart of someone and let them know it will all be okay...  Twitter handle: Facebook URL:
