Happily Ever After
We grow up reading all the tales, we know all the lines
Through movies and books, we've learned the rhymes
Cinderella goes to the ball and gets the prince
And lives perfectly ever since
Happily Ever After
Rapunzell gets out of the tower
And gets royal power
Happily Ever After
Sleeping beauty bites the apple
and still ends up with the prince in a chapel
Happily Every After
The morals and messages may still be valid
However, life isn't some fairy tale ballad
In our modern world the endings should be more realistic
As opposed to the perfect ending - something elusive and mystic
People should know that heroes don't always win
Perphaps the Beast never got his curse broke - to add a spin
People should know that sometimes the villians succeed
Perhaps Peter Pan fails - and the Lost Boys bleed
By making a story more practical and human
Readers will better get the morals - and have acumen
Sometimes the world doesn't give a happily ever after
Sometimes it gives you a lot of pain with only a hint of laughter
