fairy tale expectations

I don’t know why I won’t learn


that my Romeo isn’t ready to die for me,


that my prince charming isn’t interested to know who owns the other half of my glass shoes,


that my Jack would just leave me dying in the sunken ship,

that my Peter Pan wont be with me forever

and

that the person I gave my heart to

will never realize that there’s a


happily ever after

that can be found in me.
