A Fairy Tale
There was a girl
who was scared of life itself
so, for the longest time
she just kept running away as far as she could see
She ended up on the other side of the world
escaped to the place that was the exact epicenter of life
it was so loud there that she wasn't able to hear herself
and for some time, it felt good
until one day
when the whole world went silent
and she was forced to see
that she was just hiding away in the castle made of air
locked up with her own restrained dreams
and then she realized
that fear will never go away,
so, she stopped waiting for some kind of Prince to save her.
she left the castle and made that fear be her guard and only walking side by side with it
she found the way that she was truly seeking
About this poem
I've always been the 'good girl' kinda person, just trying please everyone, and make them happy. I've never received the love and affection I deserved. I just lost my worth on the way to make others realize how precious they are. With this, my thoughts geared up for “A Fairy Tale”.
