I know I can't be a storybook princess
So I don't know why I expect a prince
Expect a true love
A happily ever after
I guess I suppose everyone should have a chance at it
But that's not how life works
Is it?
Life is full of ups and downs
You have to make of it what you can
The people you meet...they aren't necessarily your destiny
You have to take them as they are and make your own happily ever after
Be happy and fall in love if you can
But don't expect it
Realize what you are
Who you are
And appreciate what you have while you have it
Because life is not a story
You don't have guarantees
Or spells that can change everything at a moment's notice -- reverse death, induce love, bring happiness to all
You have to be your own magic spell
Your own hero, your own prince
Save yourself
No one else is coming
