"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.” -Dr. Seuss


Princes and Princesses,
Knights and damsels in distress,
make up the fantasies of my mind.
The place I go to escape the
dragons, witches, ogres, and trolls
of this modern world.
The place where I'll always overcome
those trials to receive my
happily ever after.
The place where every girls' a princess,
where adventure lies around every corner,
where courage accompanies you everywhere.
Where your fuzzy woodland creatures are always there
to help you on your own adventure.
Where the dark forest becomes your home,
where the slipper always fits,
where true love's kiss heals every wound,
where every sacrifice receives a reward,
where the prince is always there at the right time,
where lonely times never exist and
where you can always wish upon a star.

The author's comments:
I was inspired to do this for a talent show, but I've been wanting to write what a fairy tale is to me. They're full of hope, but they also seem so out of reach in my life. My life isn't terrible, but I'm sure everybody yearns for their own fairy tale, and thats why I wrote this.
