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”.
