-In Fairytales by Keaton Foster In fairytales There are princes In fairytales There are princesses In fairytales There are kingdoms In fairytales There are villagers In fairytales There are good people In fairytales There are but a few bad people In fairytales There are some challenges In fairytales There are some triumphs In fairytales There is often beauty In fairytales There can be ugliness In fairytales There are men sworn to defend In fairytales There are those who seek to topple In fairytales There are kings and queens In fairytales There are servants who dream In fairytales There are those who have In fairytales There are those who do not In fairytales There is always wisdom In fairytales There is always some fool In fairytales There is always a new day In fairytales It is always darkest before the dawn In fairytales There are those few who are brave In fairytales There is always someone to be saved In fairytales There are always happy endings In fairytales Reality has no place or standing In fairytales Is where most of us often reside In fairytales The real truth does not exist In fairytales Is where we can go to hide In fairytales Is where we can remain for a time In fairytales Some of us are princes or princesses In fairytales Some of us come to be a king or queen In fairytales Most of us are just villagers In fairytales Some of us may be servants In fairytales There are so few of us knight worthy In fairytales There is always a dragon to be slain In fairytales There is always a love to be embraced In fairytales Is where most of us feel alive In fairytales Is where most of us find a way In fairytales Is what we want to become ours In fairytales Things work for all but a time In fairytales Is where the truth and reality Have no reason to coincide In fairytales We cannot forever reside Because out here in the real world Fairytales have no place And certainly they will not Keep us safe from what in time We all must come to face… In Fairytales Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2014. |
