I was told to never say never
and oft I've been
haunted by its repercussions,
for nobody is perfect.

Go to sleep before you dream.*
I've come to enjoy dreaming
far more than waking;
so much so, that I forget
to remember that I am awake.
Drifting mind and drifting eyes,
I swear, I want to be somewhere else.

Cinderella
walked on broken glass
Aurora
let a whole lifetime pass
Belle
fell in love with a hideous beast
Jasmine
vowed her marriage to a common thief
Ariel
ventured on land above
Snow White
barely escaped the knife

Because bearing a life of LOVE
**means overcoming all aspects of strife

you care about me?
you love me?

i could really tell.

especially when you insinuate that i'm a:

nuisance.
horrible person.
****.
bad example.
waste of good potential.
failure.

sometimes,
   we find ourselves
with no choice,
   but to watch.

sometimes when I close my eyes,
and feel something deep inside,
hurts some much,
but I just swallow my pride.
and keep the real me trapped inside.
to the world I smile,
grin my teeth as I open wide.
paint a smile, a-mile-high, side to side.
meanwhile, these feelings, deep down inside.

Each day is a photograph
Of images we leave behind
