"Fairytales"

Fairytales

I used to wander

In the fairy world

And marvel at its sights

The door would open

Welcome me in

Twinkling with fairy lights

Then one day

I ran right up

To the fairy door

It would not open

And I was stuck

Welcomed by fairies no more

"Please!

I beg you!

"Let me see the Fairy Queen!"

The door opened

But just a crack

Just enough to be seen

"Human child

What is it that you you want?"

"Please good Queen, let me in!"

"You don't belong here

Anymore

You have committed sin!"

"Please good Queen

What have I done?

Allow me to atone!"

"You can't dear child

You're all grown up

And you must bear it on your own!"
