False Fairy Tale

A promising January, dumbfounding February, an agonizing March

Deceiving April, a hopeful May, seething June, a weeping July,

And August, hoping for another chapter one of my life

Counting ten to zero again

Do I still keep on believing?

“No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing,

the dream that you wish can come true.” A famous line from Cinderella,

Disney gave my child-like heart an umbrella

believing every inch of magic can come true

praying to a shooting star for a happy ending to pursue

But it all comes down to one

I’ve been tricked and it cannot be undone

Fairy Godmother, would you come?

turn this disastrous time

back to where everything is fine

Can Peter Pan carry me to a place where tranquility awaits?

A world with peace and where chaos shall cease

Can there be somehow a time where my fairy tale dream

Can come to life?

Everything my childhood heart believed

Did not expect to see a world full of false myths

While I believed in magic, curse was brought down to us

Whose fault?

Is it the villain? Or ours by default?

What a wonderful world could it be

If a white coach and a gigantic castle, we see

But the clock strikes at midnight

And my fairy tale dream became a disastrous site

I’ve been living in my own bubble not knowing when to pop

Contented to a magical world map

Now seen as a false paradise

We’re living in a world full of mishap surprise

Are we waiting for a Mulan to save the nation?

A Belle to inform us to the world’s wonderful creation

Maybe a Pocahontas to show us not to misbehave

Or a Merida to help us be brave

Just like the other princesses, maybe it’s not too late

Hoping for another chapter to create

Fairy Godmother, there is still a little faith

Will you please swing your wand from afar?

Or should I just wish upon a star?
