fairytale

we don't live in a fairytale world.
things are not what they seem to be.
this is murder, this is hatred, this is greed.
here's your father with his other family.
a pot of gold is not what you'll find
at the end of each rainbow.
reality is not gold.
reality is trials, suffering, and pain.
our cotton candy clouds of dreams are elusive.
a degree and hardwork won't assure us of them.
we have to be fearless, numb, and cunning.
sometimes, we have to kill.
love doesn't cause magic then sparks,
but the clash of chemicals then sparks.
it is all in your mind.
that's why you have control over it.
you are not cinderella with such a kind heart.
there is no mirror that would lie about snow white.
a mirror reflects our world of cynicism
and gluttony and anger.
this is not a fairytale world.
see things as real as they can be.
this is murder, this is hatred, this is greed.
