I Was a Fairy Tale

I was a fairy tale

lost in my own world

spirits danced

all around
me,
bright creatures, and
I was a magician
the Good Witch of the Midwest
no day ever
went by
when I did not have my
happy endings

all was right with the world
good was true;
evil was vanquished

I was up in my tower,
but
my
prince
always
rescued
me.
at the balls, I would twirl

round
and round
and round
secure;

the world was honest and fair.

romantics end up heartbroken.

my tower dissolved around me,

my prince... vanished.
love...unlikely
truth? I was the liar.
