Fairytales

Sometimes true love

Is right in front of you

Someone told me

True love doesn't exist

Cold and harsh

It was like

Having

My little childhood dream destroyed

What happened to all?

The Prince Charming

And happily-ever-after?

They were just stories

To amuse little kids

But since you're older, I thought you should know

I frowned

That isn't true

If true love doesn't exists

The old man who has dementia

Wouldn’t remember the love of his life

If true love doesn't exists

The little girl wouldn't learn sign language

Just to be friends with the new kid in school

If true love doesn't exists

You wouldn't be happily married

With two kids today

Someone became uncertain

Then what are the fairytales for?

I thought long and hard

Till I remembered a phrase I once heard

Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist.

Children already know that dragons exist.

Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed

The dragons are

Trials and tribulations

You go through each passing moment

By overcoming them

You find true love
