I'm Rapunzel and I've just cut my hair off.
It meant freedom at the beginning,
But now I can see
I'm still trapped.
How am I supposed to get down now?
Hayley Williams said "burry the castle",
A fair face as white as snow coldA pair of lips as red as blood boldA dark hair as black as coalA pretty girl who had a kind soul
High up the sky, there lived a fairy
White beautiful wings which were furry
Spends her time by looking lowers
Green plants with crystal showers
Once she decided to go there
And to enjoy all the fears
High up the sky, there lived a fairy
White beautiful wings which were furry
Spends her time by looking lowers
Green plants with crystal showers
Once she decided to go there
And to enjoy all the fears
It all began when I started to like boys.
But little did I know, those were all decoys.
They told me sweet nothings as if I was one of their toys.
I am stuck in the age that you love to mock,
but it wasn't my fault I couldn't stop the clock.
Two thick braids have unraveled into soft curls,
grinning crooked teeth turned to bright whitened pearls.
There is no denying it, she was first
I imagine her next to you, your arm wrapped around her
As it had once been wrapped around me
Sometimes I wish I were a less kind soul
The princess up high in her tower,
the monsters are sure to make her cower.
Sitting in her room brushing her hair,
tearing at her face her skin no longer fair.
Picture this:
the two of us, in bed
white sheets, black holes
No, blown pupils
we can't stop staring
I love you in the morning,
with soft sunlight peeking through the curtains
casting over your sleepy face;
eyes dazed,
smile slanted,
The fool who wore the
king's crown
By A.R.T
There once was fool in the court,
However the king's expectations fell short.
(1) One Thousand and One Nights
"Tell us a story." The voices whisper.
It's getting dark out.
There are far too many shadows.
The room echoes of silence.
Once upon a starry night
Still is dark but seems so bright
The way the world just disappears
Into your eyes into your fears
Once upon a time, queerness was considered a crime
Rainbows and queer knowledge was forbidden
However, no one saw what was coming at the time
A queer teen did not expect what was about to be given
Six thousand five hundred and seventy days.
In this tower,
Pacing the floors,
Memorizing the walls,
Alone,
For six thousand five hundred and seventy days.
Gothel is fond of books.
In the fable of Hansel and Gretel, the family has become quite poor*
For a scarcity had hit and the father had not much to get
So the mother thought “Getting rid of the children is a better score”
It was quite late at night.
A fire lit up the house.
My sister, called Snow White,
Embroidered Mama’s blouse.
The stitches were of blooms:
Some white, the others red.
I sat, using the loom,
Once upon a time...There lived a beautiful blonde babyWith skin kissed by the sun Her black is more beautiful than goldAs the story
I have seen the little child . . . the little girl.
I have seen her from up close and from afar.
I would think to myself I love her.
I would think to myself I hate her.
Locked in my tower
Laying in my bed at night
Laughing no longer
"Mother! Where art tho?"
"Mother? Do you hate me so?"
"Mother! I need you."
Placed in solitary
Two little cubs roaming through the plains,
Run run the two went along.
So young, and careless.
They roamed until they arrived at an elephant cemetery.
Once upon a time
He was Beauty
While she was Beastly
His heart was pure darkness
While her heart was pure gold
Behind it all remained a story untold
Men would stop to ask
Once upon a time,
a young lady ran away from the ball.
Due to stereotype,
Cinderella immediately comes to your mind.
The difference is Cinderella's prince searched for her,
the young lady's prince did not.
Deriving from a single articulation
Are the eyes that close slightly
In the supposition that there is a cation
Sprouts the intuition of the anion
The appellation is such that the sky hazes over
What if Humpty Dumpty never had the great fall?
with a story ever happen at all?
Let's see if it did, would it even be the same?
Would it still be good or would it be lame?
Little Red
A Peculiar girl
The Wolf
A Monstrous Me
The Woods
No place for little girls
I was there when she first wandered in
The time she met me
The Big Bad
The imagined come just as the average,
the souls escape from the lives of the lavish,
cinderella files her taxes,
Snow White's candles melt of waxes,
the bustling dwarves travel to work,
Once upon a time a furous giant terriozed a far away village. The giant would kidnap the children of the village usually the rudest girl there. He would also take half of the villages harvest and lifestock.
Once upon a time
A story reborn again and again
Stood a girl whose heart was empty
And eyes full of unshed tears
Her arms open to the darkness
Once Upon a Poem:
a backlit town
the story place
a girl with shame
upon her face
lost from her journey
off sunlight roads
the daughter hid
to bear her load
Though homey and quiant, the house in the tree
Peter burst out laughing, maniacally
The lost boys asked him of problems that be
His only response was "Sit around the fire, and see."
Hello children,
My name is Peter, Peter Pan
And I am here to introduce you to the magical world known as Neverland
Where children step foot into paradise
We hold the tale of fairies
To be quite the bedtime stories.
But have we ever heard of how they came to be?
What if we only had a tiny taste of the true cup of tea?
"Help! Wolf!"
The young shepherd cried
His body was shaking and his eyes were wide.
The townspeople came, swift and alert
"Wolf? Where?! Are you hurt?!"
Kiss a dead girl?
Kiss her ruddy lips, her stark face. They called her Snow White, a pretty name for a corpse. Snow White, evoking glistens of fresh crystal, the name portrayed the cold dead of winter. The cold, dead of winter.
Cinderella... So beautiful and down to earth
An amazing young lady, unaware of her worth
Constantly mocked, always rejected
One of the millions feeling neglected
A simple night out, but nothing was ever the same
Little girl, little girl with eyes so blue
Where do you go with empty baskets beside you?
“Worry not, as you see, I am on a mission.
Once, I walked -A studly lass, I, of grass and chalk.Picnic baskets, summer breeze,The air of new kin call out to meBut alas, t'was I who hadn't answered.
Once upon a time
There was no prince.
Once upon a time
There was no castle.
Once upon a time
There was no happily ever after.
How rough the waves doth crash
How deafening the raging waters
No one can tame these beasts
Like great blue demons
Under the water lies a girl
Unhappy with her form
Let me tell ya about a time I thought it was in love Thought I was in a fairytale Made me feel like a princess Yea he also called me his queenAnd he bought be things like rings that bling and food never failed to make sure I was good But behind th
they say she stayed in her tower
for those cold years
out of obedience
adherence
and requirement
but perhaps it was
fear
the small window a reminder of a small role
Strange that the woman doesn’t seem to mind.
She’s surely Celtic -- or was,
years ago. (Her skin’s too pink for the Mediterranean. Besides
the half-regretted magic on her brow
betrays her Briton-born.)
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess. Probably the most beautiful you've seen.
Snow White cannot fight
Her soul’s become cold
Like White Snow.
She must go.
Sharp memories like icicles
Dangerously dangling
They really tried to get me to go to the ball
"Without you, Cinderella, it won't be fun at all!"
"Ha! With my left feet? I'm not interested in that."
Then my godmother got interested and next to me she sat.
The Three Bears arrived at their home
To find the door open,
Swinging side to side in the breeze.
They worried that the intruder
Might be inside;
Papa walked in cautiously
Once upon a -
Ugh! You know how that goes:
"A princess finds her true love,"
In one day...gross.
No one ever stops to ponder
The "antagonist" if you will.
Our stories are stronger
Im not here to lie, so lets have some fun
If I had a fairytale it would involve only one
No, not jesus, moses, or even his son
It'd be a man, yes
But with brown eyes not blue
Once upon a time an unwealthy shopkeeper lived in a large city with his second wife and his two chldren. They lived in a small one bedroom shack with very little to eat or drink.
I am the prince oh how great am I
So great I can bestow a kiss to any princess I find
My men did come and to the forest we rode
Upon being out there a beauty I did see picking berries and practically calling to me
Sinderella, you're as horrific as you name.
Sinderella, you're the only one to blame.
Just one night and yet, it was enough time
Your once pretty face, slashed at the scene of a crime.
Once Upon a Time...Well, you all think you know how it goes.But come take a seat, while I tell you the tale no one really knows.
There once was a tortoise.
There once was a hare.
They decided to have a race, although seemingly unfair.
It was almost impossible for the hare to lose,
even the tortoise was aware.
My grandmother had always warned me, "never to talk to strangers."
"The night is full of dangers...
That is unless you belong to the dark itself. "
Here I am by my loneself.
In darkness of night sleep steals you away,
And still is your heart, in your fatigue,
It’s all in your head but to your dismay,
You enter a world full of intrigue.
Cinderella for a day
as a quincanera queen,
she put on her dress and walked through spring,
oh what a dream.
Modeling with her court
who where her gaurds for the night,
they gave her the floor
Jack was told to sell the cow and get some food to eat. Jack was tricked and bought three magic beans, no food was to be seen. He went back home and got kicked out for wasting their last chance.
Seven little dwarves carrying bricks;
One strained too much and then there were six.
Six little dwarves went for a dive;
One went too deep and then there were five.
Who are you, if you are not your name?
If you make a mistake, then who is to blame?
Though others may describe you,
Your personal thoughts can ring true;
But you still don't pertain
The power of a name.
The Beast was mean,
but then he turned kind.
I came clean,
I wanted him to be mine.
Happily ever after, you say?
Maybe so.
But each and every day,
I wonder if I should have said no.
The prince could not have known,
As the rhythmic motions of a horse long since exhausted
Came to still,
Just what waited in the tower.
His quest to save the cursed girl,
What if Aurora didn't want to be in love,what if she fell "asleep" to avoid,the pain of the pressure from her surperiors above
Once upon a time long ago
It is said a girl with skin white as snow
Ran far into the woods
And stumbled across a cabin, alone in stood.
The story of Peter Pan
Was told by all in the land
The little boys and girls dreamed of this boy
And an island filled with fun and toys
But little did they know
Fairytales.
They don't come in true colors.
Some come in blue.
Some come in romantic red,
But some come,
In Backless Black.
In the depths of darkness,
Once upon a time, there was a teenaged girl on a vacation with her sister, mother, and father.
After running out of data and battery, Alice's iPhone needed a charger.
Writing, the power that masters the beast
That turns into something easy to caress
Into a bliss of doubt
Of fondness, just like love.
She waits, silently in the lifeless yard. The sky that night, dark and starred. She lays there, waiting, its getting late. When he comes, they'll leave this fate.
You've heard a few stories,
or must've heard one
Of princess,
of prince,
Of aloft humpty dum?
Or jack who took Jilly
too far down the hill,
And lo
They remain
They’ll scream and say I robbed them
But don’t speak of how they robbed me
Though I suppose it’s hard to recognize
Your slave once he’s been freed.
As cliche` as it sounds,
this fairytale begins like all the rest,
but this once upon a time, is at its very best.
Born in a kingdom were two twin girls,
both bore beauty that the world never knew before,
He must marry for the kingdom, caged by commitment
By order of the king, the fairest maidens were summoned,
A royal ball was called,
Tonight he must choose.
#1
Castle by the sea,
Lush grass so green,
Two Queens soon to be,
One Princess so closed and mean,
The other is beyond explanation kind,
One has not been seen,
I sat alone
Waiting
Typical fairytale
I, the lonely damsel
In a tower
Awaiting a rescuer
I sing and read and paint to pass the time
Until my hero gets here
One day he found me in my tower
Rumpelstiltskin didn't just have one,
Rumpelstiltskin also had a son.
His sister's job was getting old,
Turning straw into gold.
So to make a change,
He increased his range,
Spinning copper wire,
Once upon a time
When knights in armor shined
There waited a young princess
Who had many hobbies and interests
Yet at the very thought of marriage, she felt herself grow distant
Be Prepared for the Evil Lion King
The Return of Scar
They thought that I was dead....
Once upon a time, I was a princess
I was a beauty who lived in a castle;
I sang with the birds, spoke gracious words,
But all the while found my stigma a hassle
There was a prince I was supposed to love,
No chance, no way
I won't say I'm in love
But not because I don't want to
Rather
How would I know?
A damsel in distress?
Can't relate
Fending for myself
Oh, Repella
The mayors daughter
Uknown
Unseen
It was only a dream
She would find a friend
A lover
A companion
All day Repella would disinfect, dust, and deterge
It all starts with a young girl,
longing for a life beyond the sea,
and, in some accounts, she gets her wish;
in others, she longs for what could be.
We all know the famous Disney movie:
Once upon a time,
A beautiful princess
Dressed in a bright blue ball gown
Had finally escaped from her evil stepmother.
It all seemed so typical
Until one day
The rain flew straight past us
As he grabbed onto my hair
Slowly
Slowly inching his way up the tower
The witch taught me things
I'm sitting here.
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
Where is he?
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
I'll just brush my hair.

Once upon a time
A mermaid was curious
About life on land
Ariel could talk
But her life would be shortened
With each word she spoke
She loved a human
There once was a princess that did everything right.
She didn't lie,
she didn't swear,
and said her prayers every night.
She kept up with her studies
and aced every test.
It was the Westside of the City of Wind.
The year 1998. The time when the sun still hid shyly behind the moon's dark embrace.
A fire station. Dawn.
A mother of two, soon to become a mother of none.
Once upon a time in a kingdom far away
A young princess often went outside to play.
She found comfort in the garden by the pond,
With her skin fair and her curling hair blond
Once upon a time, I married the sweetest of girls.
She always wore the prettiest of pearls.
Then we had two children I grew very fond of,
But my wife felt she lost some of my love.
Love letters, glass slippers, and the yearning for true love are no more,
instead replaced by Snapchat streaks, Instagram likes, and “gmorning” texts,
The shoe
didn’t fit.
The disappointed woman
trudged away,
sulking, and
disappearing into the
circle of curious townsfolk
she was looking for
in spare parts or corners
not change; but something to put in her pocket
that would grow warm over night
pressed against her skin
something very little
There once was a little mermaid
With bright crimson hair and tail, green as ocean
Little do you know, her story was facade
I know, Disney gives you false notion
See, her story really goes like this
Once upon a time
a girl stood in the cold streets
selling her matches.
She was all alone
in the cold winter sidewalk
as adults passed by
Once Upon a Time…
It all started with that boy Peter,
And the chase to catch a duck to eat her
Before I could be on my way
To eat another duck another day,
He caught my tail with a rope
Once a upon a time....but with a twist
A story so close to heart, you won't be able to resist
It'll be a modern day telling of what we know best
So let's begin with Goldilocks, who was hashtag blessed
You know how it goes.
Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel... They all get the guy.
Happy ending, screen fades to black, birds chirping.
Happy, happy.
Except that isn't reality.
Reality is pain.
Back in 1862, there once was kingdom.
This sounds like a typical fairytale, so for introductions, you don't need one.
Sat on a throne was very old king.
And on his side, was his beautiful wife and the queen.
Once upon a time there was a girl named Rapunzel. Her hair was her first love. She got everyone's attention with the dramatic length of her hair. Everyone stared at her, even the bush dove.
The sobbing mother cringes
as her baby cries.
She wishes they had warned her
just
how
loud
a deaf child’s screams could be.
Once upon a time,
a rose-colored girl
fell in love with her dreams.
Her mind never sat idly by
It roamed
to vast valleys,
Once there was a boy named Jack,
Whose family was in a state of lack,
To correct their financial down,
Jack was sent to town,
There he would make good of his vow,
And trade riches for his family' cow,
Born with blood royal
And blessed with fairy wishes,
A young girl was to grow into a lovely woman
But was tainted with one’s cursed kisses.
No matter the spoils or words of roses

Once Upon a Night
You know how they all start
Once Upon a Time
You expect a princess
A prince
A happy ending—
This is different.
Once Upon a Night
The forest shivered and moaned
Once upon a time there was a young man
He lived with his wife, daughter, and son
He never cared about family or love
He only listened to his children's screams
As his wife once again hit them with force
Black hood, Black hood
Silk formed around her head
Drape around her, covering her body, exposing her facial feature
Showing no mercy
Once upon a time, in Arendelle
There was princess Anna and in love she fell
Her sister, Queen Elsa, so strong and so bold
Could manipulate weather, and make everything cold
"Grounded, you can't go out!"
I heard, he didn't have to shout.
"You can't go to the prom!"
I think, he should take that up with mom.
Dad slammed the door shut, off to work
Down the rabbit hole you say?
No, no, no darling you are mistaken.
Down a corridor and through a doorway,
That is where you were taken.
Your voice is one of the most powerful instruments you are born with,
It has both ended wars and started them all with a flick of a tongue.
It conveys our emotions and sings our songs.
Once upon a time,
the beginning 'O' was never embroidered with gold,
life was void of materialistic tangents;
our modern albatrosses
But sufficied with compassion,
I used to be shiny, yummy, and red
Baked into pies both warm and delicious;
But now here I sit with flies, rotting instead
And suddenly now I'm nothing but vicious,
The princess I meant no harm to one bit;
Little Red Riding Hood
walked through the thickened wood,
traveling to her grandma's house
not really thinking about a spouse,
low and behold she caught someone's eye,
but it really wasn't her perfect guy,
It was a cloak,
Not a hood,
And my sweets were
More than “good.”
And traversing the forest
All on my own?
The surface, as I reach it,
quivers and shakes
as the shining sun pours
down onto my face.
My sisters before
warned me of the heat,
of the glare;
yet I swim to the top,
The surface, as I reach it,
quivers and shakes
as the shining sun pours
down onto my face.
My sisters before
warned me of the heat,
of the glare;
yet I swim to the top,
Once upon a time not too long ago I came in contact with a magic mirror and we exchanged "hellos" "Mirror mirror on the wall why don't I like what I see in my reflection at all" The mirror became a bit sad And took awhile to respond But soo
Afraid to close my eyes.
Afraid to journey into the dark abyss.
The fear of being trapped
surrounds me.
Suffocates me.
Constrains me.
The creatures of the night
Why must my own reflection
Show so much hate and defection?
Mirror Mirror of the wall,
What makes makes Snow White
The fairest of them all?
Hair as red as apples snags on branches
A basket swings by her side filled with nothing but secrets
too naive, too young
Her hand is on the door now
too many lies
She's pulling back the sheets with a smile
I am past the unbridled nature of humankind,
That which rises from the soft ground below me,
Men drawing straws from the thicket like pencils,
In hopes of writing the next chapter in my story.
Once upon a time there was a girl
Who fell in love with a hero
He swept her away to another world
Once upon a time there was a princess
Or was it perhaps was it a prince?
Give me a second I shall look into my index,
Ah yes, here it is, it was nothing but a man.
Curly Locks was chillin' playing basketball.
Thinkin' 'bout how he could dunk if he were seven feet tall.
Strolled back down the street 'cause he was hungry now.
Could've eaten a chicken, turkey and a cow.
“You see I haven’t a clue.
For a rabbit, that’s nothing new.
It’s plainly clear
In here, my dear,
We’re crazy, but how do you do?

Once upon a time, lived a boy who could not die
eventually. yes, but Peter was lonely at best
until one day he saw a band of brothers
who looked so happy, together, forever
so he decided to take it for himself.
Pan’s Growing Pains
Second star to the right,
With Peter Pan, Wendy, and her brothers taking flight.
The Lost Boys wonder,
“Peter, don’t replace us.”
I wish I were stronger—
Strong enough to kill,
To wield this blade against him
And cut a smile into his throat.
Feet that dance on knives for my sweet voice—
Mirrors,
Show you who you wanna be and who you pretend to be
But most of all
They show you who you really are
And sometimes that's not always welcome
Mirrors,
Rotting, Wilted, Spoiled
All disguised by the most innocent,
The most pure of cravings
Sweet lies and cake
Who ever said
Once upon a time
had to come ahead
of the story?
It's a pastime.
Maybe Rapunzel never wanted to be saved.
She was just a girl.
She was never enslaved.
A tale as old as time
Belle's living her dream
A mother of three, two boys and one girl,
The beauty's beast nowhere to be seen.
Times were tough, but she was tougher,
A rose among the cracks, she strives,
Once upon a time, there lived a duckling in a pond.
The duckling was by far the least attractive animal in the neighborhood and beyond.
The pond was in the best gated community in all the land.
Cold consumed me
Like fire
I tried to recall my name
As I shivered
This new world was iridescent
Too bright
I don't know how they found me.
I'm not sure I want to be found.
My mother taught me to stay away
From people from inside the town.
A girl my age I've never seen
And a man she clearly loves
The beauty holds the rose in beauty.
Lush petals bloom and glimmer in her fleshly palms, and the dew drips, drips, drips
to the stone floor
Remember the old lady, who lived in a shoe
Well there's a twist to this story no one ever knew
She was once very rich,so sweet, so kind
Her and her husband together
He told her "I'm so happy I made you mine!"
Okay Crew!
This is take-two.
Snow white, please, rehearse your lines
and wait until the sign this time.
Unfortunately, there is no lunch break.
Sorry princess, you will have to wait.
Once upon a time
A mother tucked her little boy into bed.
She sang him a lullaby, she kissed his head,
She opened the window and slipped out the door
Closing it quietly behind her.
Once upon a time
Once upon a time, in a far off land,
A young Prince lived in a beautiful castle.
Although he had everything he ever wanted,
The Prince was selfish, and had no love in his heart.
And as punishment for this,
In this particular fairytale,
There is no poisoned apple or bread trail.
Instead, there is a girl and a glass slipper.
No Grimm details, no sign of Jack the Ripper.
Our story begins with Cinderella,
They called me a monster,
They called me a witch.
They called me a hypocrite,
A bully, a snitch.
They called her beautiful,
A sight to be seen.
More beautiful than any,
Belle
I live to protect my father
The villagers believe he's not well
Explain that he's a man of pure genius,
They'll just put both of us through Hell
I am perceived as
"the beauty"
In the dream,
I pulled the pink sash off her dress completely,
until the only pink I saw was the pink soft crater on her breasts
and to have her look at me with such intensity again
"Knight in Shining Armour" what's that supposed to mean?
My Knight in Shining Armour, wears T-shirts and denim jeans.
He might not fight off dragons, or have a pet reindeer
There he sat, gazing out the window at the ocean which extended far beyond what his eyes could see.
Once upon a time…
There was a mother duck
Who laid some eggs
But was out of luck
For when one egg hatched
It was a shock
Once Upon a Time
In a land, not so far away
A young wolf, was held, being blamed for a crime
But no one, had known he was a prince, transformed by the fay
His task was to search for the girl who borne red
Once upon an Ending the Earth fell on my shoulders
as if I was Atlas carrying the whole world
The sky shattered like glass on to my skin
making scars deeper than they have been
Behold! The gentle touch of dying breath is now upon the gods!
That said, their many heads ensure at least one still lives on prolong'd.
With recourse yet no further will they stay, but they, against the odds,
My childhood's full of stories--
Happy endings and of kings:
Of fairy-tales where love prevails
And princes give me wings...
I knew that prince was coming,
But I couldn't stand the wait;
We all are different from one another
CREATing things such as one another
Inevitable animal-like traits in which others would have to
Just WAIT
To see. You see?
This creature never saw the beauty
Stepping out onto the red carpeted glass steps of the staircase,
Sparkling yellow heels clink with each step
Shimmering, glistening, golden ball gown flowing behind her
Once upon a time
A young girl so benign Confronted by the curse Touched, pricked, and tumbled Fallen by the spindle.
Oh the unlucky one
Rembered for her collapse
It was the beginning of the weather,
The sun shone through the leaves,
A fair maiden sat upon her bench,
With a stare of many greaves.
By the end of summer,
Her father wanted her wed,
In all of Aphrodite's reign, nothing more could bring her fury, a mortal child on Earth that goes by the name of Psyche, who has been rumored to be the second coming of the goddess herself, or even the child of. Her wrath leaves none to be safe, a
Once upon a time… there was a lean, keen machine who identified as Dr. Facilier.
At the age of 5, Dr. Facilier was abandoned and left in a dark, gloomy forest on the outskirts of Louisiana.
This is something most alarming,
All the guards are scurrying, swarming,
Carting 'round the great Prince Charming,
Knocking every village door!
If you ignore 'em they come charging
We know the story of Red Riding Hood
And that lecherous wolf she met in the wood
But what if the wolf hadn't wanted a snack?
Would Red have been able to find her way back?
What is light more than a torch in the night,
An invisible line between day and night,
The apearance that we know wat's right,
But even fairytale queens have their fight.
The Evil Queen may have been wrong,
Raven black hair, long and beautiful
A rosy flush of dimpled cheeks,
When will my refletion show who I am inside?
Grab the scissors, cut the hair,
Ride off into the night,
I wrote this poem to explain how I think the tale of Hansel and Gretel should have ended.
The Grimm Brothers and their fairytales
The queen did love red,
and so red she wore.
There was red in her kitchen,
her bathroom, the floor.
She prized her red glasses
she always kept close,
for they made what she saw
She is the girl,
hiding her bruises,
Gretel's her name;
He is the boy,
pretending to be strong,
Hansel's his name;
In a small box
they lived together
Once upon a time...there were three bears. Yeah, I bet you think you know where I'm headed with this story.
I can assure you, it's not what you think.
The times her curly hair flew as she walked
Those brown eyes, wondering, waiting
For someone to catch her
From falling into an abyss of agony.
This girl didn't want to grow up
and face reality
I woke and fell in your arms
Has your lips touched mine
Never knowing much more
Trying to keep us from falling apart
Tink.He calls me.Tink.He calls me.Love.He never calls me.Wendy.He calls her.
That is why I wear Green.
Once upon a time
In the land of Arendelle
The Queen committed a crime
That sent the whole kingdom to Hell
She had a child
When wood creaks
And smells of incense,
Your eye widens and leaks...
Your heart stops and listens.
The dark is horizontal;
Too compressed to allow a flame
Ignite.
Once opun a time...
Oh how cliche does that sound?
To a hero I must always be bound
I must always be the damsel in distress
For no one else can wear such a beautiful dress
I am a beauty for that I am sure
I lived concealed between the shades of the evergreen,Where a green, so dark, did envelop me.Under the forest’s dark and mangled cloak,Paper skin, ruby red lips, glistening emerald eyes andStrands of gold
Eines Tages wohnte eine schöne Prinzessin in einem großen Burg im Bergen. Sie war der schönste des Welts, aber sie hatte Probleme. Sie schrie um alle ihre Arbeiter und Arbeiterinnen. Sie hatte nur Umfug im Kopf, und war unglaublich böse.
What do you do
When you believed in something for so long
And it crashed and burned
But days bring it back to you
In different form?
How can you embrace again
What you loved
When people see red, they think of love.
Every story told to us.
Snow White's red lips,
Prince Charming's kiss,
There's so much depth that people miss.
They think red roses, romance, passion.
I will join you
The shackles on my wrists
Are made of gold
And my eyes are glass
As you drag a razor across your wrists
Once upon a time…
We had a fairytale princess
I say “had” because
this fairytale has a twist.
Our relationship was a fairytale
It was perfect
On the outside
It may have crashed and burned in the end
But maybe it is a happy ending
But I don't know just how yet
When she asked me
what love meant
I laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed
and cried suddenly.
The memories were stinging and burning and itching
and searing and lightly seasoned with salt and vinegar.
I’ve stopped drinking from the wishing well of health
Guaranteed to keep you young and make all your wishes
Come true. Despite the try my will ran dry
Has I came to the realization not everything is flawless
Once upon a time
(She was torn down to the bone
nothing left except for the voices inside her thin skull.
She was vulnerable
or easy as some may call it.
He took her heart
Once Upon A Time...
I'm no princess but I've got
beautiful eyes
Who am I supposed to be?
My friends tell me be cool,
be strong, be the life of the party.
Do it no matter what even if you act like a fool.
Be down for anything and don't trip
I walk through the halls looking at people,
poeple look at me.
I don't care what they think as they pass in silence.
This is me.
I smile and wave at strangers,
as if they're life time friends.
Pulgarcita: Thumbelina.
Living in the grass.
Inquires of the day to day,
yet no one seems to ask
about the way
she seemed to hurl
herself into the world.
Pulgarcita: Thumbelina
Trapped way up in a tower
Waiting for Prince Charming
The number of fakes and pervs
Is really quite alarming
As the dragon slays them all down
You watch from your towers' glass
You use to be my Luke Sky-Walker, and now you are my Hans Solo. (Star Wars)
You were tired of monkeying around. (Jungle Book)
“Pretty as a princess”
That’s what they all say
Tuck you into bed with story time.
“Wish upon a star”
It was just a childhood dream
As you stare out the window at night
Throughout all my life I questioned myselfWill I ever be perfect?Will I ever be noticed?Who would want someone like me?One day it all changedI found someone who I cared about deeply
Down the dark dungeon steps,
He ran for his life.
Down the tall tower stairs,
Footsteps close behind.
There stood a little girl,
Upon her royal parent's balcony,
Watching not her parents but an earl.
The earl was young and handsome unlike the others.
Sitting atop a hill of grass,
I saw a castle on a mountain,
With bits of brick and stone and brass,
And marble courtyard fountains.
Wildflowers ran along the side of the mountain.
Cinderella cleans away
Washing, working, chores, no play
Will the prince come save her day?
He would rather eat fillet.
Sleeping Beauty slumbers deep
By her side the faeries weep
A trumpet heralds a quest; lovely
Sleeping Dream, patient for us all
Waits in dusty ivory
To hear sirens call
On paper, proclaiming marvels
Announcing new worlds to traverse
How many frogs do I have to kiss
to get a prince who will give me bliss.
How many lamps do I have to rub
to give me someone I can truly love.
I know that we've barely met,
but I've got feeling I don't regret.
I never really believed in love at first sight,
but now I'm glad I can call you mine
There is nothing more lovely than a fairytale.
A new world, a new life, all at the turn of a page.
In a world so twisted and dark,
Tales of giants in the sky and true love’s kiss
If I were to be a ghost, she said,
I would fly and fly and fly and fly.
To the the land of dreams,
where the final flower still stands.
Don't leave.
Just don't.
Stay close to me.
Be patient and gentle,
then you'll see.
Get to know me.
I have layers upon layers
of thought spent on who I am.
There's contradictions.
Do you see my unicorn?She is pure white, her mane shining in the moonlight.Her fur is soft, like a chick's downy fluff.Within her sweet eyes, is where something lies.
Fairytales,
such corruption-
the story told by devil.
Starting from “Once upon a time...”
two beautiful people
destined to be together...
Once upon a time there was boy and a girl
Both who came from opposite sides of the world
The girl had her eye on someone who looked right through her
Have you ever seen eyes that speak sermons.Respirations that birth holy spirits.With those kind of eyelids that are like curtains,Blocking out sunlight that flowers cherish.
Once with her hair down
She sat and waited in her chambers
She listened for his tell tale footsteps
The sound of his horse
And she let him in through the window
Gold and red-checkered lips.
Pink and purple plumage in pin-curled hair.
Corsets colliding with chosen partners.
Flickers of light from silver sequins scattering the ballroom.
Think about it a little more she says while I listen.
We've only meant as much as we thought we would.
I never promised I could.
I said I'd try.
I look at her with eyes that only she could look into.
Fairytales
I never used to believe in fairytales
I’m not like Cinderella when the clock strikes 12.
Won’t prick my finger and fall asleep
Or become a prisoner and love a beast.
But I met you
You say I was your Cinderella.
The problem, though, is that
Prince Charming doesn’t lie
and Cinderella isn’t supposed
to be a troubled soul.
I think, if I have to be a princess,
I’d rather be Fiona,
There is a castle which sits on a hill,
The bricks an ominous color which fill
The inside with gloom.
Inside a one window room,
One girl with one brush,
Uses her one last nerve not to jump.
Two evil sisters
Cinderella, a poor maid
Her sisters prepare
Magnificent scene
The royal ball of the king
The Music like gold
Inevitable.
My fate is inevitable.
That last sweet goodbye will cling to my mind like moss to a tree for the rest of my life.
Sometimes that moss is so beautiful.
The tree's greatest quality.
It is hunting season and I must be the deer
My huntsmen finds me and shoots without fear
It hits but does not hurt and I do not die
The reason of this I’m not sure why
I fall from shock but it’s a soft landing
A dream?
Is that what this is to you?
Because I thought it was a fairytale.
The only difference is
That there isn’t gonna be
A happy ending
That leaves butterflies
In your daughter’s stomach
pulling out my hair
drowning in despair
Cinderella made me believe in happily ever after
and driving into the sunset chased by laughter
even though her prince left her
because of the baby weight
Trying so hard to climb the walls that have been built ,
Only to fall down before ever even have tried.
Just looking for a chink in the armor,
But it is greeted with a smooth and flawless canvas
