Classic fairy tales Always start with once upon a time Then somewhere a princess is put in danger A little later her knight in shinning armor Comes riding in Saves her They live happily ever after.
**** that.
I never enjoyed those stories I never understood why the princess didn't help herself I always resolved to never need saving And yet, I never realized why they were always saved Because humans need each other I need to be saved.
Not in the knight in shining armor way But I need someone to be there I need someone to hold me When night comes At three am when I'm screaming at myself At four am when I'm crying in my bathroom floor At five am when I pass out and have nightmares At six am when I wake up exhausted At six pm when I come home and collapse
I never wanted to be that damsel in distress But I never realized that in order to heal Someone has to push me.

That's why I hate fairy tales. They remind me I'm not strong.
