The Reasons I Don’t believe in fairytales. (A relatable poem)

This is a short poem written from the point of view of a girl that is finally growing up and how understanding the cliche’s of the world aren’t actual realities. How loving yourself is alot more important than finding someone to love you.

I hope you enjoy it!

As a kid

I believed in fairytales

Where a prince would rescue me

And I would heal him

But reality struck hard

And no one came to save me

I got sick of playing the victim 

And got myself out of the tall palace

As a kid

I believed in fairytales

Where a prince would injure himself

And I would heal him

But reality struck hard

And I realised the prince isn’t the only one with scars,

That I cannot heal anything 

And He didnt want to always be healed

Much less he could never get rid of the scars

No matter what he took from me

As a kid

I believed in fairytales

Where love would always have a happy end

Where after a few blows

Things would be like a magical world

But reality struck hard

And I understood why couples fell apart

Blows, punches and knives

Are thrown again and again

at those that love

Each one aiming straight for the heart

As a kid I believed in fairytales

And sadly,

Now, I dont

Cause this push and pull game isn’t my only aim

I have places to reach

And things to achieve

A prince just drags me down

If ever, I want a king

Because reality did strike hard

And I realised

I simply cannot let

 love destroy 

What’s left of my heart
