It wasn’t supposed to be like this.
It was supposed to be a fairy-tale
damsel in distress
ride in on the white horse
sweep her up
carry her off
right into the happily ever after
But Prince Charming is a mess
and there’s no horse at all
and the damsel already has a knight
but she’s still in distress
and there is no happy ending
for anyone.
Nothing’s what it was supposed to be
the stories lie
meant to give you just enough hope
to keep you moving
but what happens when you don’t feel much like moving anymore
when the struggle gets too real
the hole gets too deep
and the fairy-tale facade falls off
to show the ugly warts beneath?
