A true fairytale
Pulling hair and calling names transforms to
Messages from secret notes all too soon;
Then there be compliments from him too woo
The little girl who asked of the clear moon:
“Since you are so high can you find for me,
The love I read about in fairytales?”
The pensive moon thought and looked out too see,
And gave this answer to the girl’s heart’s wails:
“You, little girl, shine so bright in the sky,
therefore love you must first find in yourself,
This is key before you meet any guy
For fear of ending up upon a shelf”
Even in girls’ earliest days of toys,
Their self-worth and love is derived from boys.
